Our kids
- Janet on her mare, Breezy, enjoying the high country of Hatcher Pass. The stream is the Little Susitna whose headwaters are one of our many glaciers just up the valley.
Don with a big King Salmon. The fish almost dwarfs our youngest daughter.
In the winter, we don't try to make fashion statements. We just want to stay warm!
