"MPG - good to hear from you! I have been traveling a bit about once a month in endu pin some other state. I think I may go to MEM next week - if they don't cut it at the last minute, as they have been recently for budget reasons - I know this is not…"
"I hope I'll be here at that time... I will be in LA the week of the 9th. I am going to Fairbanks on Monday of next week for three days. Funny how things work out!"
"Dude!! We still have the olive oil, natch!! This is used for cooking damned near everything in this house. I even had to argue with my Chinese cooking mentor. I will settle for Soy Bean for the chinese only. Come on - FedEx yourself up, my brother.…"
"Allen, I have a class to teach in Anchorage that week, so I can't get up tp FAI. Any chance you could take a day off when you fly through Anchorage - or even a few hours? It sure would be wonderful to see you...Let me know either way. I will try to…"
"HI Ann Marie and Larry,
Great to see the family. It is amazing how much it took me back to the high school years and after in Westchester, seeing those photos. I would be able to see who those kids have for a mother where ever I met them. Beautiful…"

"Hey Dude!! How are you? I cannot believe how many people on this site live in FL!!! I opted for other shores, but we are well. Bonnie, who resolutely refuses to join this site--too busy she says, is also well. We still have loads of fun together. We…"
"Hi Nancy! Glad to see yuo here! Coming back to Acnhorage any time soon? We are experiencing spring at last (even though it is a bit early). Paul"
"Great news, my brother. Look forward to being able to communicate more!
Have fun storming the castle, boys!"

"Hello Craig! How have you been? It has been a while since we talked. We are breaking into spring (somewhat early for up here, but everyone is keyed up and hoping), so gardening is starting to go to the forefront of everyone's mind. Hope you are well…"
"Hi Bob, Nice to see your name here. What have you been up to all these years? I have moved from CA to AK ( I always did like extremes) and done a bit or roaming in between, often for work, so it has been fun. Even here in AK, I am very big into…"
"Hi Ann! We ended up selling that car a year or two after we bought it from you. We needed a bigger vehicle because of the kid, so we sold it to someone and told them it needed a new radiator and that he could not drive it more than 15 miles at a…"
"Well, well, Jimmy Lee!! How are you doing? Been a long time since you came to visit with us in Oakland - my guess wiould be 20 years! I've thought about you over the years, wondering waht you were up to. We love Alaska--it's a great place to live.…"
"Hi Andy! Nice to see you here--welcome! There are a lot of 14th Corps on the site (join the group there are about 40 of us in there), and tons of other old friends. What a great place to reconnect. Love to Peggy -
Paul"

"Hi Deb, I never throw the good coffee. We jsut use the brewed stuff for amusing and astounding tourists. The espresso we keep where it belongs - in our cups or mouths (some of us can't wait too long). Actually, we are all coffee nuts up here. In a…"
"We also lived with Paul and her two daughters who are intheir 30s now with 15 year old children each! And there was another woman-I think she was some kind of techie or someting. She was a college division alum. Fun in those days, wasn't it? Have…"
"Deb, Summer is June - mid-August. The temps, which we consider hot, are 75F with a few bursts in either direction, but I have never seen it above 88F in Anchorage. It does hit the mid-90s in Fairbanks. In fact, they have one of the largest temp…"

I went up there once to Yoshi's, that hopping jazz club, and as I stood in line for the next show, Danny Glover came walking out. He saw some friend of his and laughed and embraced him and said, "I still got that tie! I still got that tie!" I don't know what the in-joke was, but they were both roaring.
I have fond memories of Anchorage -- I spent two weeks in a hospital there at the age of 13 with a loathsome skin disease. I went to the 8th grade in Kodiak, and I would have distinguished myself by going to the state wrestling championship in Fairbanks if not for my untimely hospitalization.
And I hate to say it (and hope your experience is different), but having lived in four countries and eight states, Alaska is the unfriendliest place I ever lived. Maybe it's a protective bias against lower-48ers .... or maybe everyone remembers the 8th grade that way.
Next time you're in California, I hope you drop me a line!
Love, Karl
I got the message this morning that you aren't here. I hit the rack last night by eight oclock in that I rise at 0400 to be ready for work by 0600. Was it the weather? We were socked in with fog all day yesterday, and so I am thinking that the lousy S.E. Alaska weather put the halt to your visit. Anyway, we'll catch you on the next visit. And make sure to tell Molly not to worry! We love her! Bless you too man, and tell Bonnie I said hi as well. I've always remember her because of the way Richard Thomas used to tease her in residence.

Bonsai...very cool. I still do floral design part-time and still love it.
Plus you are loved by many.

This is a really wonderful way for all of us to reconnect again with each other. Others have mentioned that it's akin to what the return will be like. I think it's absolutely terrific to be able to communicate with old friends this way! Betsy
You were so much fun to hang out with. I'm not nervous about eating those cornich hens now. I eat them in one bite and just spew the bones out.
