Same Old Summer by Ray Alstrom:Same Old Summer
"Summer began with a trip with my whole family, except Fred, down to St.Mary's during Memorial Day weekend. We went down to visit my family and to get away from Marshall. We stayed down there for two nights and two days. I didn't have much time to visit because I had to come back to Marshall and work. I also went subsistence fishing for King salmon. I helped smoke and dry the Kings, and Ellen mostly made strips out of them. We also put a bucket of salted salmon away and cut and dried Chum salmon too. I also gathered some wood off and on during the summer, mostly for burning in our steam house. Towards the end of July we started looking for salmon berries, but there weren't very many around Marshall. Ellen went over to the Kuskokwim to look for berries but she didn't get very many there either. She also went to the Hamilton area, which is near Kotlik, with my brother and his kids. But they didn't get many berries around there either. I've also been picking blue berries off and on during August. Recently l made a couple of drifts for fall Chums to cut and dry, and l caught about 60 fish while drifting right above Goose Island. That's about all that happened this summer."
