About a month ago, I got an e-mail from Patrick Kelly, one of the owners of Sea Islands Local Outlet (SILO), about a truly wild coincidence.

Patrick shared with me that SILO’s supplier for wild Alaska seafood is Steve Sturman, owner of Fred’s Alaska Seafood (www.fredsalaskaseafood.com) based in Kenai. SILO’s selling seafood from Alaska is the only exception SILO makes to its policy of offering only locally grown or produced food.

We checked out our clean little motel room finished in pine. The beds had homemade quilts on them. The kids kicked off their shoes and crawled up on the bed. I handed them warm washcloths for their face and hands. They all stretched out and settle down for a nap.

Our trip to the old Denver airport was fast and delightful in my brother Jim’s Pontiac GTO. The kids were packed in the backseat, in warm wool suits, with instructions not to open their candy sacks until they got on the airplane.
