I'm posting this blog so my family and friends can get a partial glimpse into my life in bush Alaska. However, before Lori and I left our homes in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan for St. Michael, Alaska our parent's had a Going Away party for us. My mom rented the Sportsman's Club in Barbeau and everyone brought lots of yummy food. Mom also had Rolly Mayer, Terry Bennett and some of their friends play music for us. It was a great time.
