I hope I don't shock you here, Brian -- coming across this site six years after that day I visited your class. I just happened across this site and couldn't believe the coincidence. It's fascinating to read your take and feel your feelings about that day. From where I sat -- and I think/hope this comes through in that chapter -- you were working your ASS off, trying as hard as you possibly could to deal with a near-hopeless situation...a situation that would drive most people out of teaching. I don't know if I told you that I taught 10th grade English before I became a writer, and brother, I felt your pain that day. A telling fact is that I don't think YOU felt it as much as I, because you had become accustomed to what you were facing, day after day. As you write, you were "suriving." I came to love those kids, each and every one of them, just as, I'm sure, you did. That said, you faced a herculean task, and I think everyone who has read that chapter would agree, and has come away with enormous respect for you. I know that's how I felt at the end of that day, and as I sat down a couple months later to recreate what I had witnessed. You are A-1 in my book, Brian (literally and figuratively).

Thank you for posting this, Brian. It's truly lovely. If memory serves, you were still in Fort Yukon and traveled once to visit another village / school in the district and the older gentleman who worked there (or at the nearby church) shared this with you...I believe. Anyway, thanks for posting it again. Lovely.

Another idea: what about some propane or gas based heater that you can use in-situ so that you can get some warmth blowing at you while you are dissecting the beast? If it took you many hours in the summer, imagine doing all that in the -40 degree weather.

Carissa comments on Read it like a novel

So Elaina has a newfound bedtime story and has sort of joined you in your Bible journey. She's reading the one you and Steph gave her for her Baptism. We've picked it up now and t hen before, but just read a story here and there. Now she wants to read the whole thing cover to cover. So we read about 3-4 stories every night, We started with the New TEstament because she was curious about Jesus' childhood. We finished that in short order, and we've been reading the Old Testament for about a week now. Its interesting through a child's eyes, too.

It probably won't surprise you to know that I'm working on a blog post about the Tucson incident as well. :-)

I'll try to respond to your post too.

The link to your blog was sent me by a relative a few weeks before my own journey from Texas to Fort Yukon began. It is a copious blog, full of interest and good writing. As there is no copy of Eagle Blue in the FY library that I can find, I ordered a personal copy through Amazon. It arrived this week! I usually read a book from start to finish, but I believe I will begin with the chapter about the school. It is now too hard to resist.
