Agnes summer was a lazy summer for her. All she did was cut a few fish, pick some berries, go to Bingo and visit some villages along the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers with the Marshall Fiddlers.

This summer all she cut were King salmon. She cut flat fish, strips, and back bones. She had wanted to cut some more but nobody fished for her. Gerilyn and Juliana Fitka also cut Dog salmon and Silver salmon for her so she didn't really have very much to do. They helped her pick some berries too.

When asked what the most exciting event of the summer was for her, she replied, "The most exciting thing that happened to me this summer was when my daughter, Caroline, and her son, Cory, who is one year old came home from Fairbanks to visit." The happiest, busiest, and most fun-filled two weeks were from the first to the thirteenth of August when Caroline and Cory were here. She couldn't believe how much Cory had grown and how mischief he'd become, and she was very excited to finally have them home again.

On one of the trips she went on with the Marshall Fiddlers, she won a quspak, which she gave to her godchild, Gerilyn Fitka. She won it in Akiak during the first week in July. It was a very pretty quspak which she'd bought only one ticket for. Her husband, Camille, drew her ticket for the winning number.

"All in all, my summer was boring, relaxing, exciting, and lazy all at the same time,"she said. She hopes next summer will be more exciting and worthwhile.
