Joe Willliams - see him with Don Dayton, the park ranger who rescued him >>
Recent reports out of Alaska and elsewhere have put bear attacks back in the news.
Joe Williams survived a near-fatal attack by a bear in 1959. It was his first day on the job at Montana's Glacier National Park. He was taking a walk in the mountains with a friend when he was attacked by a grizzly sow. His friend fled but later returned with a park ranger who saved Joe's life.
Joe tells Dick Gordon what it was like to go through the attack and what the event has come to mean to him in the years since.
