To: Kathy in Alaska

Served in Alaska on the DEW line in Galena and Campion when it was still a Territory and the “Cold War” was on and my CIC was an honorable man with the name of “Ike”.

Musquitoes still swarming in summer time? Fish still plentiful in the Yukon? First snowflakes still appear in late August or early September? Temperatures still dip below -50F in January? Russians still sending their jets screaming at sea level temporarily penetrating our radar just to piss off us?

Ah, America how I miss you.

Welcome to the Canteen, 353FMG...

Mosquitoes are HORRENDOUS this year. The minute you step outdoors, the hordes descend. Fish issues the last couple years. Both snowflakes and extra low temps still abound in the interior. I do believe the bears are still probing.

We thank you for your service to our country.
