| I realize November and the celebration of Thanksgiving is long past but relaying thanksgivings should be a year round event. With that in mind, Rick and I offer our sincere appreciation to the following people: |
| The Pilgrim family for their rigorous work on the Kennicott River ice crossing to make it safer and extend its use for the entire community. Keith Rowland and his boys for assisting the Pilgrim family with snowmoving equipment in building up and smoothing out the ice road. |
| |
| Lane Moffitt for doing more than his share in keeping our area roads open to traffic. He also did a terrific job in tearing up many of our road glaciers that can be extremely dangerous to our vehicles – and us! |
| Sam Taylor and Marty with DOT for their excellent work on the McCarthy airstrip and the road between there and the museum. |
 |
| I know there are others who have spent precious time working on the road glaciers so that others would not get stuck. |
| These unselfish acts of kindness in our town have made this winter's travel much more enjoyable and much safer for all concerned. Please know each of you are appreciated and so are your hours of service. |
| When Rick went ice fishing at Silver Lake recently, he strained his back while operating the ice auger. I've been able to give him a hand at most of our chores but the other day we needed to transfer diesel fuel from one tank to another for our generator's use. I was out of my league, but George Cebula, our nearby neighbor, came over and helped Rick accomplish this task. Thank you, George! |
