Jack...you are a good man. I hope....hope...that you do as you do here....random acts of kindness...up in Alaska.

You know Jack...the Eskimos...in Alaska....were very kind to me. They have a view of nature that is unique. I took care of a young Eskimo, who, at the tender age of 23, was admitted to the Alaska Native Medical Center for a third cardiac operation. He drew a picture for me...one I still have....an Eskimo face...half dark and half white, "the face of night and day". He was from another favorite named city of mine (aside from Eggegik): Unalakleet.

Another young Eskimo from Barrow challenged me to an Eskimo 'ear pull'. Nearly ripped it off.

And then there was my flight into Tyonek....first white man there in nearly a decade...that the village paid for because I took care of their chief before he died. Who gets to hear Indian singing while fish head soup brews in the kitchen?

It was an experience....as was this.

Honestly Jack...I am not sure how I will handle not seeing S8 and D5. They are the loves of my life.

How do you ....explain....................................................................
