We finally got to do this. Years of delays. Then figuring out how to get the time off. Planning. More planning. And then there was the money aspect. Once all of these were set, we drove to Alaska. It has always been a dream of…
We were on Day One of our Alaska Trip. Our previous stop was Kapuskasing Internment Cemetery, and we were still shocked at the treatment of people who just wanted to live their lives. Our next stop would be Reesor Siding Memorial. When I plan a…
