Gail's Exciting Summer

Gail's Exciting Summer

Something happened to Gail this summer that she will never forget. She was in an emergency crash landing on the tundra 30 miles out of Bethel with Yute Air. The people who were in the plane with her were her daughter, Ardiss, Victor Shorty, Matthew and Martin Kozevnikoff and the pilot. Not too long after going down, they were rescued by a National Guard helicopter and taken to Bethel where they had to answer a lot of questions.

When they got back to Marshall, Gail cut a lot of fish with Julia Fitka. Roy Fitka caught the salmon they cut by drifting on the Yukon. She also went rod and reeling with Roy and her kids over in Wilson, Willow Creek, Kwig, Kuyukutak and Nuksuk.

Then she went berry picking in Kwig, Willow Creek and back behind Marshall with her friends and relatives.

Gail finished her exciting summer by going camping at Arnarluq with Roy, Gerilyn, Aaron, Scott, and baby Art.
