this was a tragic event which seems to have begun a chain of other tragic events…to the point where people have been asking what is the world coming to? Our quiet little town is waking up to the bigger world around it. I am afraid…all we can do is hope for the best, and be prepared for the worst…and be VIGILANT when it comes to sketchy people who visit our town. good luck talkeetna….JON
