Nick's Marshall Conference

Nick spent most of his summer vacation in Marshall, going back and forth to his fish camp. He built a smokehouse with the help of his dad and son Jason. He and his wife Oxie put away dry fish for the winter. He didn't get to go to Y-1 for commercial fishing because if he had he wouldn't have any subsistence dry fish for this winter. "We can't eat money," he said.

He and his wife Oxie did some traveling together during her time off from work. Once they went to Anchorage for shopping for Katrina's birthday. They went to Bethel for an appointment and shopping, and they also went to Akiachak and Kwethluk for visiting and to attend the Russian Orthodox Kuskokwim Church Conference.

The Yukon Orthodox Church Conference was held here in Marshall. And what a busy time it was for Nick Isaac, Nick Andrew Sr, Tommy Andrew, Andy Boots and the many other volunteers who painted the outside and inside of the Church. They also cleaned the campus and floor, and they cut grass around the church. Thanks to Tom and Andy and the volunteers who finished it in time for the conference. The Bishop seemed pleased with the church.

After the conference Nick, Tom, Nick Andrew Sr, Andy, Charlie Boots and some of Nick Isaac's family went up to Ohogamiut to work on the chapel there and get it ready for the Youth Camp. Oxie was the cook for the men. Thanks to her they had some hearty meals so they could be energetic. Tom and Nick painted on the inside while Nick Andrew and Charlie painted on the outside of the chapel. Andy was their famous "grass cutter."

Youth Camp was a busy event because they had over eighty-five kids at camp. They had classes, church services, and many other events for them. All adults and kids were busy. Everyone pitched in and everything went well. (Thanks to the good Lord!) The Bishop and Deacon Yako Fisher from Kwethluk were theirspecial guests. His Grace the Bishop got together with the children and talked to them.

When Youth Camp was over Nick went with Oxie to pick some berries a few times, took maqi's and did a lot of other odds and ends. So you can see Nick's summer vacation doesn't seem like a vacation because he was so busy most of the time. He says that it seemed short but that he sure did enjoy it.
