December 8th, 2015: Contender
If the Most Interesting Man in the World were not some ad-man's construct, I'd nominate Peter Freuchen...
except he died in 1957, and I imagine that would disqualify him. Pictured here with his third wife, Dagmar Freuchen-Gale. ........ Big dude. Quote:
Whew! Contender for sure.

You get one life. He didn't waste his.

My great-aunt gave me a copy of the newly released "Peter Freuchen's Book of the Seven Seas" when I was in high school. I was sure it was still in one of my bookcases, but I can't spot it this morning.
I did find Richard Halliburton's "Complete Book of Marvels" which I have had for the same almost 60 years. Freuchen's book always sort of intimidated me, but Halliburton's was endlessly entertaining, though some said he was a shameless embellisher. I wonder if they knew each other. |

On the $64 dollar question show, Freuchen starts about 5 minutes in, he appears smart, snapping off answers rapid fire. But not overbearing or intimidating, almost humble.

Who Knew!
Great! I never met any other people who had read his books unless I introduced those books to them! I loved the bit about his first wife soaking her feet in the expensive perfume she was given! And the reindeer herders putting salt in their coffee "so it would taste like something!" What a pleasure to find him here!
