Kathy Peteroff's Bingo-ful Summer

Kathy Peteroff and her family kept going back and forth to their fish camp this summer. She says she didn't cut any fish, only the heads, but they don't count to her. Fran Evan and Liza Busch cut all the fish this summer. If it wasn't for them Kathy wouldn't have any fish for the winter.

Kathy went to pick berries two times this summer. The first time she went to Kuik but there were no berries in that area. The second time she went behind Tukchuk and picked one bucket of blue berries there.

She and her family attempted to go to their fish camp above Russian Mission but the river was too rough, so they stopped in Russian Mission to visit and play bingo. Right after bingo was over Kathy wanted to come home because she was broke. While they were coming back to Marshall the other people in the boat said they saw a black bear but Kathy didn't see it because her eyes are bad.

"That's all I guess I did this summer besides going to bingo, whenever they had it, and visiting," said Kathy Peteroff.
