Devon Island Journal 20 July 2003: Arctic Memorials and Starship Yearnings
“Given the sheer mass of the structure, and the slow manner with which things change here, this inukshuk may well be standing 500 years from now. That should be long enough. Maybe someone serving on a starship will think to visit it.”
Devon Island Journal – 18 July 2007: Ancient Memorials for Modern Space Explorers
“To the friends and families of these lost space travelers, these inukshuks offer a silent thank you – one amplified by the austere remoteness of this place – a remoteness you have to spend a lot of effort to visit. Right now, space travel is just like that. Hopefully that will change one day.”

    Keith: Devon was one of your most excellent adventures ever. Many of the new guys around here might not realize what our self-effacing host has over the years done to move the ball forward in admirable and creative ways.
