Jon Krakauer: Into the Wild
February 19, 1996 How is his family doing? Where is the scholarship fund?
What did Chris weigh before he began to starve? I would also like to compliment you on how well you have written this tragic story. I have a 24-year-old-son; I easily identified with Chris’s parents. Also, I recalled a younger me who just as easily identified with Chris. A: Chris was extremely fit when he arrived in Alaska in April, 1992–photos of him from that period show him to be buff, honed, and very muscular. I would estimate that he weighed 135-145 pounds at that time. |
