![]() ![]() I was given a copy of Then They Were Six in exchange for an honest review. I never wanted to be anywhere but with him. We were not apart more than 24 hours for 20 plus years. My second husband, the love of my life died as a result of disease. Life does play some interesting tricks on one. I have been captured by a place I came to under duress. The beauty of Alaska is a draw I cannot resist. I never thought I would love it so much I never want to leave. It hardly ever drops past -25 in South Central Alaska. Then my second husband and I moved to Wasilla to get warm. I experienced the building of the pipeline up close. I came to Alaska by way of Arizona and California. Retired now, I can devote my time to what I love. I've been writing stories since junior high. I hold the #80 press card as a reporter for the Copper Valley Views newspaper which ceased publication in the 1980s. ![]() I cut firewood on shares, worked as a cocktail waitress, then as a paralegal for over 26 years. I was my second husband's chief mechanic's helper and only roadie. I used a fish wheel to catch salmon coming up the Copper River. ![]() I have lived here for 37 years, I have survived -40 degrees, hauled water, made bear bacon and live in a cabin. Although born in New Orleans, I am proud to call myself an Alaskan. ![]()
