Add to that his love of a good story and his vocation as an Episcopal priest and you have the three great themes of his life. After his graduation from Yale Divinity School-where he met Marshall Dodge and the two created the immensely popular storytelling duo "Bert and I"-Bryan became a minister to the remote settlements of Quebec's North Shore. In the mid-20th century, the best way to reach parishioners was by bush plane, so Robert rose to the task. He went on to spend 50 years as a bush pilot and minister, logging more than 12,000 hours at the controls. This endearing memoir traces his life and adventures during that time and weaves in his experiences performing and recording with Dodge.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"His memories pour from the pages like maple syrup from a jug...Read [this book] to share the thrill of Bryan's 50 years of flying or simply to discover a hidden corner of the planet where people and nature remain, if not isolated, still unspoiled." - Atlantic Salmon Journal<br><br>In this fascinating autobiography, Robert Bryan recounts his life as the flying parson of maritime Quebec and Labrador who piloted float planes alone through the wilderness. . . .The Flying Pastor of Labrador remains an inspiring book about a life well lived.--Maine Sunday Telegram<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>An Episcopal minister and bush pilot, Robert Bryan founded the Quebec-Labrador Foundation, which for going on fifty years has conducted programs in education, community service, and environmental resource management in northern Maine and eastern Canada.
