There is a destiny that makes us brothers,
none goes his way alone.
All that we send into the lives of others
comes back into our own.
--Edwin Markham

Alaskan "Old Timer." Lived here in the 40's (came first during WW II as an infant with the family), then again from 1964 until 1988 (we were in Utah in the '50's). Now I am finally home to stay. If any of you plan to make it to Alaska, freepmail me. Maybe we can get together.

I am an unpublished writer with 4 novels under my belt, a website of my own at Opinions...

and a fun little Alaskan blog at Halfbaked Sourdough.

#3 son (Freeper name:"Intenseracer") has gotten himself a job up on the North Slope making as much oil as the Envirowackos will allow.

I am owned by a Congo African Grey parrot named Buster. Buster is 15, (just a youngster as parrots go), and will probably outlive me by 25 or 30 years.

I am now widowed, the handsome and extremely talented Mr. Redhead having gone Home to Glory July 21, 2003.

We have many friends here in Alaska, and we are looking forward to seeing all of them and getting caught up on all the news.

Just like Buster

God Bless you, Mr. President

ALASKAHHH!

Eight stars of gold in a field of blue,
Alaska's flag, may it mean for you
The blue of the sea, the evening sky
The mountain lakes, the flowers nearby;
The gold of the early soundoughs' dreams,
The precious gold of the hills and streams;
The brilliant stars in the Northern sky,
The "Bear," the "Dipper," and, shining high
The great North Star with its steady light,
O'er land and sea, a beacon bright.
Alaska's flag, to Alaskans dear,
The simple flag of the Last Frontier.
