Snowed on once growing up in Tucson; I kept heading north,
and crossing the Alaska border in 1994, knew I was home.
Except for a 1 1/2 year stint on Oahu, and another two years
back in the Seattle area, we’re home for good. Married to
Doug, three kids (one deceased), two “extra” kids, seven
grands, and countless animals. Retired in 2004 and took on
fostering bottle-fed baby kittens as an avocation. Our three
cats are all unique: Havana Brown male, Russian Blue female,
Harlequin female: they raise the babies as much as we do.
LOVE the winters here, and for those of you still stuck in
Tucson, an up-close view of Mt. McKinley, Denali to us, is
absolutely breath-taking. The wildlife is amazing, and moose
wander our neighborhood every winter. And, yes, we’ve met
Sarah Palin. Our opinions of her are not for public
consumption. We can’t wait for Doug to retire (I’m an original
cougar!) so we can move to Talkneetna. Have a great time at
this reunion. Hugs, Marli.
