Much Excitement During My
Vacation

 Much Excitement During My Vacation

During the holiday I stayed with my friend Charlotte Alstrom, and visited with Barbara and Babes. I watched movies and played Sega and Super Nintendo. I also watched Marshall Women's and Men's League basketball games here in the gym. The Blazers played against Pilot Station Lady Hawks, and the Marshall Blues and Bobcats played the Pilot Station Knights and Outlaws. The Pitka's Point Dreamers also came up and played against the Marshall Blues and Bobcats.

On the eighth of January, after the Russian Orthodox Church service, they began Slavic at Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Isaac's. From there they went to Paul Boot's. They fed people in both houses, and about four hours later they went to Leslie Hunter's house, and he also fed in there.

During New Year's Eve, after they sang some songs, my uncles, Wesley and Walter, shot their guns outside of our house. They each shot four times. This was a tradition they brought from Chuathbaluk.

Nick Isaac, the leader of the choir, left for Kwethluk where he had to go through a ceremony with Bishop Innocent who ordained him as a Sub-Deacon of the Russian Orthodox Church. Nick traveled all the way to Kwethluk by snowmachine with his wife and two youngest children. The night he arrived back in Marshall they ate at my house where there were a lot of other people who came to eat too.

Around 2:00 A.M., after everyone finally got through eating at our house, they moved on to Clara Shorty's. When they got through singing there, they went to Nastasia Turet's where she fed them. I waited at my house for a while and later went to Nus's where there were still a lot

of people. In the room across from Nus's we teens had fun talking and bothering each other. There were some boys who played with lighters in inappropriate places, but it was silly. We all were laughing and enjoying each other's company. Around 7:00 A.M. everyone finally left, and we went to Andy Boot's. From there we went to Kathy Peteroff's. The only new housing we skipped were Terri Manumik's and Fran Evan's.

So you can see, my Christmas vacation was just loaded with fun and excitement.
