Denali Echoes

A shrew in the wall.
A mouse by the door.
The lazy cat sleeps on the floor.
Thoughts of summer float by.
Nice try.
Still five months away till warm blue skies.

Some years ago, I was honored to be the first voice heard on our local station, singing the jingle, “Turn your radio on.” Those were exciting times, and KTNA brought community together in a new way. Talkeetna is a special place, where the past is as important as the present, and KTNA helps to tell that story. Like the old-timers I met when I first came to Talkeetna in 1974, I will slowly fade away. We’ll be spending this winter in Palmer so I can be closer to my dialysis clinic. We now listen to KTNA online, just to keep in touch. Next summer we’ll likely be back in out new home off of Mastodon Road.

See you further up the trail, and a happy New Year!
