[TheForge] Alaska --OT

Sat Aug 2 01:47:01 2003

Glennallen is on another highway but I'm only about 15 miles from the
intersection. We're also about an hour from almost anywhere in Anchorage.

Taking out some of life's unfairness on hot steel AND learning to turn it
into something useful or just cool might be just what he needs. If it helps
ease him through difficult times it'll be a bonus for both of us.

Let me know.

it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.

as his parents are getting a divorce -- as would any 14-year-old. He's
always been more interested in goofing off or playing soccer (state champs
two years ago) than doing school work. But he is not a evil or mean kid,
just one prone to getting in trouble for talking, cutting up or not doing as
he is told. His dad, my oldest bro, is a hunting fool, has the new state
champ pointer/retriever, but doesn't relate to his son as he is impatient
and an overachiever anal/retentive sort while this kid is a freewheeling Tom
Sawyer. Oil and water.

he shows any interest I'll let you know. His dad trains his dogs in
Glenallen area and he could carry him up to you on a Saturday for a few
hours. We'll see how it goes here first. Thanks for the kind offer.

metallurgy, math, mechanization or something as basic as a sense of
accomplishment at making something. I'm going to give it a try at least!

exactly.<br>><br>> FYI, I pick up my 14-year-old nephew on an Anchorage
flight now in a<br>couple of hours. It is 99 here, so I think I'll start by
packing him in ice<br>and then ask how the rest of the family is doing. The
poor kid will be<br>sweating here 23 days -- it'll never get below 72 that
whole time. He'll<br>never get on a plane again!<br>><br>> Readers Digest of
Frosty's last post!<br>><br><br
