A Trip Back to Curry, Alaska

April 23, 2007

Curry, Alaska played a prominent role in Touching the Ancient One. I gave only brief space to the history of Curry. If you would like to know more about this little town that no longer exists, check out this website. There are lots of photographs.

NEW: Guestbook Feature

April 21, 2007

I have created a Guestbook for this site. There were just too many problems using “Comments” with the journal entries. Messages got buried pretty quickly. Although you can still make comments for each of my entries if you wish, they will be more visible in the Guestbook. For private messages, use my Email link.

The new Guestbook link is in the sidebar on the right, or click here.
