My Book
I have my book Day To Day “The Blurry Years” for sale in the for sale section..now I’m not trying to sell in the discussion thread, but anyone that ordered one and have read it…please put your review right here as I’d be curious as to what you think and did it give you a few smiles and laughs…
Thank you to anyone that bought one off Amazon!
I appreciate your thoughts good or bad..

Your wife will know a lot of people I know either from Tuk or Inuvik..I was there late 70’s till I left and then went back in the middle 80’s
Our family cabin was only 15 miles from Bar C..( your wife will know exactly where that is ) Ask her if she knows where Ya Ya Lakes are, that’s where our family cabin is….really not that far from Tuk..
Cool, thanks for your post

My father-in-law was town manager in Tuk during the early 70's. My wife was just a young girl and she and her two sisters stood out as white girls with long blond hair. She made all her own mukluks and fur jackets in Inuvik when she grew up. She even had an elder teach her moose hair tufting.
Her school principle was Mr Leary and his daughter was a good friend. She lived by the peninsula with the RMCP across the street.
She use to take the skidoo and have her lunches out by the pingo.

Awesome…I have a picture of a friend of mine who played volleyball in grade 9 in Tuk…the team picture, let’s just say, he’s easy to spot in the group…lol
I’ve been inside the one Pingo that holds all the hunters harvests…a community freezer way back then…I was in that one in the 70’s, it’s awesome how they let people give and take food from there…
The far North is a wonderful place…I loved my time up there, as my book will tell ya…
Thanks for the little chat
