Long, long ago in a far away place…..
Really, my childhood was spent living with my parents and family in the jungles of Peru at a place called Yarinacocha. In 7th grade, a very interesting family came down there for a year from Alaska. The parents taught in the school and among other children, they had three Athabascan children they had adopted, one boy and two girls. Twila now lives in Anchorage and Dawn in Fairbanks. They were two of many friends that I was privileged to get re-acquainted with once more when we found each other on Facebook!
Today I get to meet up with Twila again for the first time since 1971 I believe.
We decided to meet up at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. If you are interested in visiting follow this link : http://www.alaskanative.net/
I found it very interesting, and not just because I was getting a personal tour from a native Alaskan! We also had delicious salmon for lunch at the cafe there.
