Terrific article! Great detail. I was stationed on Kodiak for a year. Then spent three years covering Alaska while w the Dept. of Justice. Magnificent place to be. Lucky you!
Hi Dr Brumage. Enjoyed this! I was stationed at Ft Wainwright Fairbanks Alaska during winter 2007 while the new army hospital was being built. During that time they had me work at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital taking care of all the military admissions. The hospital was amazing and the people/staff were fabulous. When my time there was over, I was ready to transition out of the army. The hospital offered me a job which I almost accepted. Hope you are also enjoying your time there in Fairbanks.
A very enjoyable article Mike. A great description of life in a place that few visit and few have any knowledge about. I am looking forward to your future slices of life in Fairbanks.
All these photos make me want to visit! I have a puzzle of Creek Street, it's so quirky and quaint looking. I wish I could stumble across whale bones on the beach like that... WOW!! And the moose are adorable. The bunnies in my mint and deer munching my apples pale in comparison.
Mike, thanks for sharing. Keep the fascinating pictures and information coming. Enjoy the weather now, while we in the lower 48 are sweltering. We will think about you this winter. I want to hear more about your work, too.
I am amazed at the ground you have covered in such a short amount of time. I feel it is important to know about the land where you live, and you are doing that. Great writing and this truly sheds light on America’s Icebox. Hope to venture there one day.

Thanks, Lizz. Well, maybe you can make it up sometime. It's a great place to be.

Thanks, Brenda! I'll probably write a follow-up piece. There's a lot to see and say. I love my work here so far. Thanks for reading!

Once we get settled, there's an opportunity! At 82F, it doesn't feel cold at the moment, but I know it's coming. Stay cool in Utah!
Well written article. I want to visit Alaska some day
