Gail Fitka by Gail Fitka

Gail Fitka

This summer Gail didn't do much, but she did cut some fish and go out boating to places like Owl Slough and Kuigutak. Her summer went by slowly, and it was boring because she hardly did anything different.

In June, Gail went to Tuntutuliak for her cousin Lisa Fitka's wedding. It was interesting because Lisa got married in the Russian Orthodox Church in a different way than we do in Marshall.

She also got to go out commercial fishing with Luther Nick. It was the first time in her adult years that she had ever gone commercial fishing.

The most fun part of her summer was her trip to Anchorage to have knee surgery. She stayed over there for six days. Before she went to the hospital she went out shopping. Then she was in the hospital for four days recovering from her surgery. After that she came back home. She has to have her knee strap on for nine months more so her knee will heal well. She will miss playing basketball this winter especially during the women's tournament.
