The Gang

As I put this blog to “bed,” I wanted to be sure to give a grateful nod to our traveling companions through this Alaskan journey. Donna is Richard’s cousin and Floyd, our cousin by marriage. Despite the difference in our ages, we found it hard to keep up with them! One of our favorite memories is our group readings of scenes from the play, “On Golden Pond,” when we were staying in Juneau. Floyd had played Norman recently in a production in Redmond, Washington, and he gave us a taste of his brilliant performance—one that had garnered him a standing ovation on the last night of its run.

Terri and Marty are retired nurses and were absolute “hoots” on the marine highway—so kind, so curious, so companionable. Richard and I are pleased to have made these two new friends.
