Donn Fendler has visited innumerable schools since his near-death experience in the Maine highlands more than seventy years ago, telling excited students about his journey to civilization. He still gets a lot of messages from people asking about that time in his life, and he always responds. He sets aside months of his time to speak to students at a variety of schools about his personal experiences. Now retired from the United States of America. Donn, who is in the Army, spends half of the year in Tennessee and the summer and early fall in Maine.
