Still a young pup of 8 in those days. The family had just moved to Santa Paula Ca. My parents had been working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs teaching Eskimo kids for years. We had been living in a log cabin at Kotzebue,Alaska. A village located on the Nome peninsula.The move was accomplished by driving the Alcan Highway in our 1954 GMC Panel truck. Still have my wolf fur parka and my walrus skin mukluks.Gifts from the village grandmas.
I remember being amazed it was warm at Christmas time in Ca, not 40 below zero.
Good memories.
Bob
