Some of the guys have been fishing for halibut and salmon in southern Alaska...pretty good catch..
Last week, Stacey Chartier brought Bethany back. Bethany will complete highschool here this year with Joey, Annie, and Olivia. Stacey has spent a week here with us. Wenda will take Stacey to Anchorage tomorrow. Kenny Chariter is back in Iraq and will be here for the graduation of his youngest in May...
Nathan Milliron’s family has returned to Arizona leaving Nathan here to work with his family for a few more weeks. Jennifer’s sister, Sarah, and her kids will be leaving next week.
Peter and Stacey are moving to Fairbanks at the end of this month since Peter got accepted in college to further his paramedic education. They only plan to stay in Fbks for the school year. Kelsey is pretty much doing the same thing – going to school this winter in Fbks to be a paramedic. I actually think Kelsey is going to school for two years. Kelsey hopes to make it home anytime that she can and next summer too.
Jo and Brad are taking most of the young people to the Fairbanks fair this weekend. We are trying to get Tom to go too. The Buongiorne family went to the local Deltana Fair. It was not as good as other years, it was quite hot and Rob got bored early on. The rodeo which he always enjoys was a low key affair and no kids were competing, just some older men and women from outside. May did manage to win the double ax through which is amazing considering she did not practice much. The cross saw doubles event has become very popular and too competitive, May and Pat entered and I think got second place, they have won it in the past but the competition has become pretty tough.

ROB ENJOYS THE MUD BOG EVENT...PRETTY NOISY THOUGH
Funds have become available to continue work on the Hangar. This is a Dry Creek Corporation enterprise with funds form the State of Alaska. Our foreman and community corp. president, Andy Trotter, is allowing a host of younger people to go help and at the same time make some money. May, Annie, and most of the high school kids are out there, hammering and dry walling, putting in insulation, etc. etc. Big Pat, Steve Squires, Jim Mason and Andy are pretty much the skilled ones and divvy out jobs as needed. Looks like allot of work but everybody is enjoying themselves and the building is coming along nicely it seems.
Some of the work will be hired out, as the mudding and putting in the big garage doors for the two bays.
The ambulance bay will be in the same building and hopefully good use will be gotten out of the whole building, more room for parking vehicles in the winter, possibly a mechanic shop and who knows what else. It is a large building.
We call it the hangar because it originally was gonna house some of our small planes. Since then, planes are no longer in existence, having been sold or whatnot...but the name persists.
PatLou got called out on a fire again so him and Beth were not able to spend as much time together as they would have liked to. Guess the hot weather flared up the fires again. Ironically, Pat is on a fire with his name: "Pat Creek fire"....haha! You can google it and find out what they are up to.
I know I’m forgetting some news so when I remember I’ll try to write sooner than later.
