Norman Maclean Quote
In 1949 the Smokejumpers were still so young that they referred affectionately to all fires they jumped on as ten o’clock fires, as if they already had them under control before they jumped. They were still so young they hadn’t learned to count the odds and to sense they might owe the universe a tragedy.
