Fairbanks, Alaska
You never did tell me if you wanted to drive up or fly. By the way,
Neil came by the station to see me, said he wanted to talk to me about you
coming up. He wants to have Irene and Sherry come with you if you decide to
drive. He wanted to figure out how much it would cost him. I figured $150 for
car expenses alone, he’d pay half. And about $125 to $150 for your expenses and
the same for him. Another thing, I know it would be a hard trip on you and the
kids but you’d never regret it though, and another thing, you’d see a lot more
by taking your time. What do you think? Drive or fly?
How much work does the car need on it? I know it needs a new battery,
muffler and a spare wheel. We could get that stuff at Sears on our account,
also a top carrier would give a lot more room inside and you could bring more
stuff with you. If you want to do it let me know and start getting ready. I’ll
do all I can from this end. Sweetheart, I know you can do it and will send you
my good luck key chain.
I talked to Hank a little while ago and he said he’d talked to Allan
(my boss). Said Allan told him he’d keep me as long as I wanted to work for
him. My hours are 8 am to 6 pm or later depending on how busy we are. This
winter we’ll get in lots of hours.
