Bethel to Pilot

My summer went by okay. After school got out I went over to Bethel and stayed there. While I was over there I babysat sometimes, but most of the time I would go out and visit my cousins and friends. Sometimes I would go out riding with my friends all over Bethel in their car. A couple days later my friends called me and asked if I wanted to take a ride over to Oscarville or Napaskiak and stay with them there for a couple of days. When we went back to Bethel, we took our time because Napaskiak is close to Bethel.

At the end of June I went down river to Pilot for a week. While I was there I stayed with Barbara and Charles Heckman Sr. We went out on boat rides to St. Mary's and Marshall while I was there. On the way back to Marshall with my friend Buddy we went by way of Owl Slough where we stopped for ten minutes to sight in his rifle. When we reached Marshall we went over to my brother's house and stayed around for an hour and a half. Then we went back down to Pilot Station.

From Pilot I went over to Bethel and stayed there for a couple more days with Margaret Nagasiak. We rode around in her Blazer most of the day and in the afternoon I picked my belongings up at Maggie's house and brought them over to Margaret's place. Before I left Bethel Margaret and I rode around with her kids and Richie, a friend from Pilot. Before I went to the airport, I went to see Maggie. I told her that I was leaving and she asked me when I was going to be back to visit her. I told her in a couple of months, then I returned to the same old Marshall.
