Back to Alaska

Fairbanks Travel Blog | Travelogue | Travel Journal

I found out a cousin was getting a degree in accounting and the cost seemed less than for me to go to UAF, including the airfare! So I traveled between Alaska and Minnesota some while trying to get a degree. My second year, I would take the Greyhound bus every payday to see my best friend that lived 70 miles north of St. Paul.

Back to Alaska

June 21, 1979
It's prettier here than in Minnesota. This is where my family had moved to. Homesteading was proving to be a troublesome task. My younger brothers and sisters were not all that enthused to study. I immediately got a part-time job at the roller rink. Also another part time job with a bookkeeper that lived within walking distance. Later I added the 3rd job which was selling Avon in our trailer court. I started UAF in the fall of 1979. Can you believe the size of the school was overwhelming for me? I ended up taking a break that semester.
