In 2002, we fell in love with Alaska and purchased property near Fairbanks. Our Alaska log home was built in 2003 by Bill Kisken of Log Weavers here in Fairbanks. Bill is an artist, who uses the hand scribed Swedish cope system. Notice how tightly the logs fit at the ends, this is very diffucult to achieve. We retired in 2013, and moved our residence to Alaska.

A Great Marathon
















Just finished the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. This was my 24th marathon; ran the first one in 1978 in Omaha, NE.   This wasn't my fastest race by far, but it was probably the best and the smartest marathon I have ever run.  I finished very strong: The last 6 miles of the race were my fastest split times.   

Photo at far left is my friend Charlton and me before the start.  Center photo is at the finish line. Photo at right is mile 18.
