Almost 50 Years and Counting
(Webmaster's note: In
a perfect all things would proceed as planned, as hoped for in dreams.
In the real world, we grow from our experiences and challenges. This week
we have attended a great friend's funeral, visited a four-day old baby,
consulted in a divorce and planned for a wedding. And finished off the
term.)
After graduation from Susitna Valley High
School, Darron headed to Jamestown College for a year. Darron's graduation
coincided with Gail's completion of her Masters in Public Health from
Loma Linda University, a program that came to Alaska and the Northwest
so Gail has never been to the campus.
Darron
learned a lot that year including that college was not for him. The next
fall he and a friend tried the southern California experience looking
for a job, but the social environment was not for him either. He took
odd jobs in Anchorage until he went for heavy equipment training through
the Jobs Corps in Washington.
