Goodly Morning...

Sorry to hear about your friend's condition. Keep the memories. ;)
Your pictures are wonderful and if I were you, I would
take the last shot and frame it for your family and friends. It is a keeper. :)
I am probably the worst person one could meet for pictures, I do not own a camera and I hate my own picture being taken. That is probably the only vice I have which annoys the old girl. ;D
Been awhile since I flew in Alaska and I am almost scared to ask what a good steak dinner in a fine restaurant would cost. :)
Do they still have signs on some of the roads that say "Aircraft Have Right Of Way". ;D
Thanks for posting your pics.
Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
