For some reason, he had no desire to see Alaska again, even though us kids begged him for a trip there. I understand now.

I have talked to folks that were stationed on the Alaskan mainland and most of them said they liked it. Well,,to a point. Cold is cold, but humidity has a lot to do with how cold it feels. One lady said it was so dry, the kids could not even make snowballs. The snow wouldn't stick together.

I've heard that the mainland has some pretty nice spots but I guess the Aleutians is one of those "end of the world" spots.

Dad said they never got sick up there. The germs couldn't survive the cold.
