Nora Tikiun's Summer

:

Nora Tikiun's Summer

This summer Nora worked in the clinic, went to Anchorage, went berry picking, and helped both churchs raise money.

Working in the clinic was good, she said, because they didn't have very bad accidents or emergencies.

Nora went to Anchorage in July because she thought that her daughter was going to have surgery. While she was there she went shopping for groceries and clothing. About a week later she came back.

Nora also went berry picking across from Pilot Station. The first day when she went out to pick berries it was so hot she had to take off her rubbers.

The next day it was raining out so Joseph, Florence, Anna, and Paul had to go to Pilot Station. The third day she came back home and started peeling salmon berries.

On August 11 and 12 she helped both the Russian and Catholic churchs raffle all kinds of stuff to raise money.

She said the summer went by fast and there was too much rain.
