Boardwalk Scene

When my dad grew up in Kasaan, people used boardwalks to get most everywhere. Nowadays, only one long stretch of boardwalk remains: "Blackstad Lane". These days, most people drive on the dirt roads.

In the above photo, we see some of Blackstad Lane with afternoon shadows and growing berry bushes. My dad's Auntie Pauline was married to Bill Blackstad and they lived in Kasaan for decades.

Happy Fathers Day, Dad!

Norman's Mask

During my trip to Juneau, I got a chance to hang out a little with my friend Norman Jackson from Ketchikan. He happens to be a great Tlingit artist--The Carver At The Creek. Here, Norman looks at one of his own masks inside the Alaska State Museum.
