Honouring a real hero – Captain Bob Bartlett

In this modern age when hockey players and musicians are considered “heroes”, I think it’s important to occasionally point out what a real hero is. In 2009 Canada is celebrating the life of Captain Robert Bartlett, one of the greatest Arctic explorers in history. Have a look at the video below for a good introduction to Captain Bob’s life, then see my feature on him here, and the Celebrating Bartlett Web site [now gone] for more information.
