I'm not in Alaska, I live in Oregon. But I grew up in Ak... I found this site from another link on another forum ;D. I just had to drop in and say hello. It has been interesting reading in here. Makes me very homesick and makes me wish I could come home. ... I do have a couple questions, so you will see me around. Linda

Hi Linda, Welcome to the forum! Or, maybe I should say WELCOME HOME ;D Hope you do get back up here. I see from one of your other posts that you're from Birchwood. Isn't that out toward Eagle River? Anyway, hope you enjoy the forum. Feel free to ask/answer questions, post comments, and post links that may be of interest to other members and guests. Take care, Jenny Alaska HOMESTEADING Journal

Thanks for the welcome Jenny! Yes, Birchwood is near Eagle River. I lived in birchwood until I was around 12. Then we moved to mile 72 1/2 on the Tok cutoff. When I married, we moved to Anchorage. Alaska is in my blood... and I do want to come home. I am with my aging mother though, so don't believe I will make it for much more than a visit... although, I have been trying to talk her into it! ;D Linda

My grandparents lived on Birchwood Loop for several years. I think they moved back to Oregon in 1974 (they made it to my HS graduation, so it had to've been that year).
Grandma went back to Alaska a couple of years ago for her ninetieth birthday! If your mother's health isn't too bad, she ought to be able to make the trip!

Hi Kathleen... that is so cool, hearing of someone that lived where I grew up... Can I ask what your grandparents last name is? If you would rather not, I understand.
Linda

Oh ya... it isn't the trip that would bother my mother. She doesn't want to be cold...
