Manny's Summer

Dale ( Manny) Hunt came to Marshall from Kotlik to help with the A.V.C.P. house construction project. He is working on the 16 new buildings being put up on Yukon Ave. behind Marshall. Right now, all the houses are up, but they need things to be put inside.

Dale goes to work at 8:00 in the morning and goes home around 6:00 P.M. That means he has to get a lot of sleep to be able to get up real early! He likes his job. Recently, he came from the state Washington where he had been for carpentry training, and that's how he got his job here.

Dale "sorta" likes Marshall; "It's alright," he told me. Sometimes he gets homesick, because sometimes he has nothing to do. He says that hunting down in Kotlik is better than here because there are more marine mammals and game.

His summer was GREAT, he said. He traveled, hunted, went commercial fishing, visited with friends, hung around, and worked around his own house in Kotlik. Other villages he visited were Unalakleet, Emmonak, Alakanak, Mountain Village, St. Mary's, and Pilot Station.
