Yesterday afternoon, March 6th, 2010 was the 2nd annual Alaska Reunion BBQ at our house. Everyone in the picture worked for the Corrington Family, starting in either 2003, 4 or 5. From the bottom row, left to right, Vivian Borgsmiller, Louise Hawkins, Patty, Jeanette Fulton, Barbara Brosco, Bev Thompson, Megan and Jim Stebbins. Top row, left to right, Bob Borgsmiller, Joan and Don Jones, Bob Fulton, Judy and Ron Ellstrom, David Hawkins, and Charlie Thompson. The common experience we all share, having worked and lived in Skagway, Alaska, was the basis for many conversations. I think we all agreed, that living in Skagway, and working for the Corringtons was a very positive chapter in all of our lives, and in fact, Charlie and Bev Thompson continue to work during the summer in Skagway. They left their winter home in Yuma, and this was their first stop on the long drive north. Charlie and Bev were able to bring us all up to date on the many changes that have occurred in Skagway, during the past few years. We had lots of food, and after a delicious desert that Judy and Ron brought from Kingman, I put together a slide show from our computerized photo files of Alaska, and displayed about 300 pictures on the big screen TV. Except for a few gusts of wind, the weather held, and it was a nice afternoon with friends.
