I got my weight up to healthy at age 14 and stayed there for years. My hair was medium-light brown as a child and darkened to dark brown. Very straight with a pair of cowlicks in the front.

Don't know how I thought of it but all of a sudden Chilicoot Charlies just popped into my head. I LOVE it when my brain clicks in - just doesn't seem to happen much anymore so I REALLY get excited. That birthday was the only time I was ever at Chilicoots or Anchorage. Fun memories! Guess I should dig out an old picture. I have one somewhere out past Fairbanks where they had a huge stuffed moose in front of this restaurant we use to go to and my sister in law and I were kissing the moose. I think it was about 33 years ago. I'll have to see if I can find it! [color:cc0099]When you find work you love you no longer have to work for a living![/color]

I was there from June 1977 - August 1978. Took one trip up to Fairbanks when my parents and sister came to visit me. I was offered a job to teach Head Start way up in the bush - would have had to go in a 2 seater plane - UH, UHHH!!! Don't like flying in a large plane so I wasn't going to do that! Besides... I didn't want to live in the middle of nowhere - I need lots of people around me! By the way... I sent an email to Chilkoot Charlies asking them about the place in Girdwood - sent it about a week ago and have not gotten a response.

I also lived in Southeast Alaska in Petersburg before that - around 1967 or so for a couple of years. After 1976 I flew back to WA State and have never been back. Brrrrrr Fairbanks was soooooooooo cold. Although with all the rain in this state I sometimes think it's colder because Fairbanks was so dry. It was a really fun time but guess I'm here to stay. My husband and I were just talking about how I had beautiful houseplants in Fairbanks - one which was a fern in that dry country and I can't grow one here inside for anything. I've killed quite a few of them. I just don't understand that. LOL O'well! I do much better outside with my flowers.

Re: Wanna see 30 years ago??? #224085 Jul 25th, 2008 at 11:51 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered I did have glasses. I had them until 6th grade and then I didn't need them anymore. I looked very dorky in glasses. They were so big but I guess that is what was in then. The color of my prom dress in that picture isn't the best but it was a light blue. I loved that dress! I had a huge nose in my baby picture! Thankfully it isn't that big anymore. Get your baby picture out so we can see! Did you notice in one of the pictures that my mom covered all of our furniture in afghans?!?

Even his docs kept pictures of him. And yup, that was my blankie. My Aunt Marion in TN made me that quilt and it was my most favorite. All the children had to bring a blanket to school for nap time and I loved mine. I had very pale blonde hair with silvery streaks all of my life until I got into my mid-30's. Then it started getting darker. But even now, it isn't very dark. Merme We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

So I got to swim a lot growing up. But when we couldn't go there dad would drag out the good old sprinkler. Merme, I'm so sorry--I read it and meant to answer it...the phone rang at the time and I never did answer it. We are going out now but I will get to it when I get back.
