Nastasia Andrew's Summer

 

This spring Nick and Nastasia went up to fish camp and cut and dried salmon. The King salmon was too fat so she mostly cut Dog salmon. But before they went home she also cut strips from the King salmon--just enough for her family. After Nastasia brought the fish down river to her house, they got ready again and went out berry picking. But there were hardly any berries when they went out picking.

After their first batch of dry-fish had dried, her daughter, Barbara, got married to Willie Duny Jr. on July 21 at the Russian Orthodox Church. "It was real exciting for me and everyone else," she said. She was happy her daughter and son-in-law, got married.

After that they wanted to go camping and pick more berries for the winter. But her son-in-law went to work for the gold company at Donlin Creek, so they had to put it off till later.

They also went up to Russian Mission for a Russian Orthodox Church conference in July, and it was pretty good. Afterwards they went up to Ohogamiut and camped there for a couple of days. Two weeks later they went down to St. Mary's for John and Martha Thompson's 50th anniversary. While they were down there, they went to church where they had a 50 year blessing for John and Martha Thompson. In church the altar boys and men had gold kuspaks that looked real nice on them. Later that day they went to the St. Mary's Catholic Mission and had a big potluck. It looked real nice. There was a gold table cloth, and a lot of decorations and balloons. After the potluck they had a square dance. There were a lot of people there and it went on all night, and the next night too. "It was really nice down at their anniversary," she said.
