BACK

• Simon Klemperer- visiting professor from Stanford

• Fred Hall III- grad student at UAF who lived in Lathrop and rented Real Genius for us to watch. You want him on your volleyball team.

• Henry- a weatherman who is visiting Alaska and learning about smokejumpers. He came with us to Circle Hot Springs.

• Chris Roberts & Rudy- Only year-round residents of Kennicott, who despite several old "war" wounds and some beer managed to drive 3 of us halfway up to the abandoned Bonanza copper mine.

• Max Wyss- Professor at the GI who came with us on our trip into the Brooks Range, and taught us how to dance like Zorba the Greek.

• Uwe Dünkel- German grad student who was also at the GI last summer and shared some of our adventures. Can identify any rock by its smell. Well, maybe not, but still knows an impressive amount.

• "the Governor"- old man we met at the bus depot downtown, who claimed he was suing a bunch of people for "adultery, rape and idolatry" as a result of his only winning 4 precincts in Alaska's last gubernatorial election. You just can't make this stuff up.

• Seismology lunch gang- Jeff Freymueller, Roger Hansen, Kent, Hillary, Guy, Natasha and others.
