Andy Boots' Summer of '92

"After working in the Marshall High School for nine months, I took the summer off like all summers before. During the month of May I layed off and didn't do much else except the thing I do best, taking steam baths. Every night I take steam baths with Simeon Sergie and others. It gives me something to do and I like it, plus it keeps me very clean. Other than that during May I minded the store and kept it running."

"During the months of June and July I helped Olga commercial fish for King and Chum salmon. The fishing season this summer was very short compared to previous years. In July I got invited to a wedding in Russian Mission. I was there for a day or two for the wedding and dance. I also watched the Summer Olympics in Barcelona, which was interesting to watch."

"I also brought my two sons out hunting, and also rod and reeling. Once I took them out waterfowl hunting near Kayaqutaq. Beginning in June through August I minded the store, which was alright. Then on the Twenty-fourth of August I began working in the school again. My summer by fast, though it was fun."
