Norma Evan's Summertime Tale

Norma Evan is a former high school student of Marshall High School. She graduated last spring. Norma plans on going to the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. This summer she did a lot of things like go on many boat rides. She also worked at Hunter Sales from the end of July through August.

Norma mostly traveled along the Yukon. The places she went were down to Pilot Station, St. Mary's, Mountain Village, and Russian Mission. She also went over to Bethel a couple of times. Coming back from Bethel she stopped in a near village. She said that village was pretty small.

Norma did a little mischief like taking her brother's four wheeler and boat. That's where she learned how to drive a boat. She also did a few more things like go swimming, camping, learn how to shoot a gun, and other stuff. She and her cousin Yvonne also got left on an island for fun. She went down to Pilot Station to baby-sit. From Pilot Station she and her cousin went back and forth to St. Mary's. They also took some boat rides in other sloughs near Pilot.

Norma stayed out late most of the summer and hung around with her friends. She and Yvonne also played basketball on the basket she and her brother and cousin put up.
