The log cabin museum was my 8th grade classroom. OTZ had 900<br />people in 1956. I spent the next 25 years in AK most of which were in Kiana, Noorvik, and traveling the Arctic NW. One day I left, the<br />biggest mistake in my life. First<br />back to NH (which didn't work) and<br />then to CA which has been boring if not expesive) Keep up your photos and storyline. It is neat to see what the place is like in 21st Century.medwyte@yahoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384835463263616272.post-21229042069171124482009-01-21T21:33:00.000-09:002009-01-21T21:33:00.000-09:00Thank you for telling us your story.

And I guess my hold on Bill is greater than Alaska's because he isn't here for the grandkids. He'd move to Alaska in a heartbeat if I said yes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384835463263616272.post-85935504143763399022009-01-13T17:14:00.000-09:002009-01-13T17:14:00.000-09:00You have finally satisfied my curiosity about your...You have finally satisfied my curiosity about your being in Kotzebue. :) <BR/><BR/>Wonderful post, even if it is a rerun.Braggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252719085678735035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6384835463263616272.post-81424681783353495312009-01-13T09:18:00.000-09:002009-01-13T09:18:00.000-09:00I loved reading this post.
