| Up the Hill at Paul and Margaret Swansons Summer 1979 I remember one summer solstice we joined the neighbors for a huge bonfire and potluck at the Swansons. We ate and played most all night. The view from the Swansons looked out over the valley and we could see the McKinley range. We watched the sun go down one side of Mt McKinley and back up the other side in one-half hour. That was all the night there was. What a wonderful memory of good friends, neighbors, and loving kindness. Aunt Jessie and Clarence Frank were visiting the Brokaws this summer. Clarence Frank is at the end of the table. Gail is across from the Swansons. Heather is talking to their dog and Julia is on this end. |
| Jinny Kirk at Heather Brokaw's Birthday Party August 1979. Jinny brought a container of 100 "pennies from heaven" and an umbrella for when it rained those pennies from heaven. What a cute idea, Jinny! |
| Chugiak Post Office on Old Glen Hwy 1978. This is a side view taken from our house right in back of the Post Office. |
| Sled dogs in the yard adjacent to ours. That was a joy living next to the dogs and seeing their excitement when it was time to get in the truck. They were so well behaved. It was amazing! |
This a photo of
our backyard. I
remember berries
growing under the
birch trees in the
summer and
poisonous red
mushrooms with
white dots
throughout the
yard. Right above
the treeline was
the road up to the
Swanson's house.
