EARLY HISTORY
Phil Fischer was born on an Air Force Base in room #17 in Wichita Falls, Texas at 1:10 am on April 23rd, 1970.
The mother on his birth certificate is listed as Sharon Fischer and his father is unknown and does not appear on his birth certificate. His mother was 14 at the time if delivery and the father was believed to be serving in Vietnam according to the doctor’s notes on the rear of the certificate.
Five days after delivery I was told his mother hitchhiked up the Alaskan highway and at the age of three weeks Phil was given to a native family for adoption in the village of OLD CROW, YUKON which is about an hour flight from DAWSON CITY, YUKON which is located in the artic circle.
Very little is known about his life from the ages of 4 weeks till 13 years of age but what I managed to find was interesting.
Piecing together what little facts are known he was raised by a native family that belong to the tribe known as VUNTUT GWITCHEN who seem to have made a living off of the caribou herds for the last 10,000 years, or the last ice age.
Life is tough and the population is around 500 diehard locals who call this desolate place home and many of the locals live in small homes with less than 300 square feet.
Polar bears can be seen all of the time as well as Grizzly bears and other wildlife. The locals keep their food underground on account of bears and the main supply of meat is Caribou and Bear and Salmon.
Phil is well remembered in Old Crow and many of the locals at the café had many stories to tell about him. All were funny, and some astonishing.
Apparently he was the only Caucasian living in the territory for many years and he is remembered for a business which he ran on the PORCUPINE RIVER, which is a river that runs by the town and Phil is widely known in the Artic Circle for a bear attack that almost took his life.
I was told by the town elders that at age 9, Phil ran a boat business of selling cigarettes and alcohol to villagers living along the river. Another story...
