THE CHURCH OFFICE RECEIVED A NOTE FROM KIM FRANCISCO letting us know that he is now a published author!  His book Flying Fisheries Biologist is available on Amazon.com and Kindle Books. Congratulations Kim!
FLYING FISHERIES BIOLOGIST is a romp through the author’s first flight in a Ford Trimotor to his last brush with death as professional biologist working for the Alaska Department of Fish & Game. The book begins in Des Moines, Iowa with model planes. It ends on Nunivak Island at minus 20 below O landing a Cessna 185. Each chapter is illustrated with photographs, some the authors and many provided by photographers from around the world.
