Thank you again for your posts. It is through you that I learned that the victims of this horrible accident were troop leaders from our own state, Alaska. I had just gotten off the phone with our son who lives in Anchorage, and we had been talking about this horrible tragedy. He must not have heard yet either that they were Alaskans. Sad no matter where they were from, but this sure hits close to home.
God bless their families, friends and fellow Scouts. sob
Waiting for the 10pm news. I'll post if they know anything new.
News report that all leaders are believed to be from Anchorage. The one name released, Mike Schibe, had his 15 year old twins with him. They will catch the first flight home. Lots of scouts watching the tent going up...a pole contacted the overhead power lines. Several power stations knocked out. Chaplains provided for all. TRAGIC accident. God be with all the scouts, youth and adult.
