Goodbye is for Strangers (Hardcover)

This adventure takes place in 1968. The main character, John Hutton, has just graduated from college and wants to go on a camping/fishing trip, before he joins the real world. His adventure actually starts while visiting the Runestone Museum, in Alexandria, Minnesota. While looking at a Viking battle-ax, he starts having visions of a Viking Lord. Two Viking spirits appear and guide, protect and reward him during the long and sometimes arduous journey. The adventure turns into a quest and goes from Minnesota to central Ontario, Canada, to the Canadian National Natural History Museum. Different individuals join in on John's quest and there are jokes, humor, some pathetic humor, and occasionally, some thought-provoking theories. Since the Vikings materialize on occasion, there is some time travel. There is no sex, swearing, or graphic violence.
