Yes, they ran into the singer Gordon Lightfoot in the middle of nowhere. This is a bit of a family history that we all remember. My understanding is that Lightfoot's group had lost some of their gear, including a camera and my father's group helped them out. The story goes that Gordon dedicated a show to the group he met in the arctic.
