Nathan did a great job on his Inupiat diorama. He had fun collaborating with the family. Thanks for the help.

Marina participated in a 4H fashion show at the Pioneer Home where she modeled a kuspuk I made for her.

  • Hey Lisa:
    Great post and those kids (and their parents) are awesome. Wish I could have gotten you some of the myriad materials we have here for reference, but looks like that wasn’t a problem. That will be a nice piece of art ot add to your collection and the kuspuk, well, let’s just say I REALLY LIKE IT. Took Debra fishing today….flat calm, we each caught a king, and we fished halibut in just 100′ of water and got all but one of them. Your boss, I think, enjoyed fishing with “family” and went home with a king and two nice halibut. The captain, unfortunately, caught the biggest halibut, but Fred and Debra tied on the king salmon. Luke caught a nice 15# white king and we are having frsh salmon and halibut for dinner. I will be up tghis week sometime, so hope to see you there….most likely my last trip up until the baby arrives (you know I will fly up for a day after that!) Love, Pete

  • Nathan will still be interested in looking at your reference materials. He really enjoyed learning about the different Native groups. He was sure excited about the diorama. It was a fun project. The kuspuk wasn’t that hard to do, it just took some time. I would like to buy the pattern so I can make more.

    I am glad Fred had fun. Sounds like a nice day to be out on the water. I hope we can make it down soon.

  • first time on the org for awhile. can’t remember the last time – if ever – i was three posts behind. ugh. nathan’s diorama looks terrific and glad i could make a small contribution to that…you and marina look beautiful in those kuspuks. wow! good stuff. we’ve got a few more “mountains” to climb here in the weeks ahead – cheri’s surgery is the next big thing on the horizon – but we’re looking forward to a fun summer. hugs around, love, d/gp
