I coached my first year here about 7 years ago. That was junior high boys. I taught 3 years in the Falls before that and coached 7th grade girls and 7th grade boys. That would have been around '95-'97. If I stayed in the Falls I think I'd still be coaching. It only takes 5 - 10 minutes out the door and you're in prime hunting or fishing areas. Down here, you have to drive so dang far to get to anything decent, so I like to have my weekends free to get back up north.

Do you know a Franklin Roberts? He's always driving around in a reddish Jeep Cherokee Chief.

I've tried fishing Dark Lake a couple of times. I caught some nice sunnies a long time ago, but I couldn't catch anything else to save my life. I just chalked it up to inexperience of the lake. Clear L. has some nice bass in it. Crappie and sunnies too. Are there fish in the old pit behind Buhl? I'd like to try ice fishing there this winter if anything is in it.

Back to the basketball... I played against a Kevin Grondahl (sp?) in the late 80's. He was a quick little guard who could shoot better than J. McDonald some nights. I always had to guard him when we played MIB.

yes i know frank roberts... he hunts just north of you guys. as for fish in the pit i choose not to share that information over an unsecured line if i see you up here ill fill ya in on that situation

ok, maybe I got my lakes mixed up. Which one is west of 25? Whichever it is, dark or clear, I recommend you give the bass a try .

As far as KG shooting better than Mac? Hmmm, I better grab my waders .

I played for Cook and went up against Joel (starting in fourth grade) more times than I care to remember .

My sister Melanie was in your class.

[shortfatguy]

darren! hey i remember you. whats your sister up to these days? so do you guys still have the land in alango? do you hunt there in that area?

[DTro]

She recently moved to Alaska. You know what that means.

Yeah, my parents still live there. I hunted there the past few years, but honestly I felt like I was shooting instead of hunting. My mom and dad like to feed them and it's more like cattle 'round there.

my brother is living in alaska too. i know what you mean. i cant wait till i get a chance to go up there and hunt! cant forget about the fishing either!!!! sometimes shooting isnt all that bad!

I used to guard Joel also. Fouled out in the first half one time in Chisholm!

My aunt and uncle moved to Alaska as well. Great fishing, but I'd like to do some hunting too. It is nice to have relatives to take you in when you get up there. What part of AK did they all move to? My uncle lives in Wasilla. They've got two large freezers out in the garage that are stuffed with moose, caribou, salmon, halibut. They never have to buy meat from the store. They also run the smoker during the salmon runs. Fresh smoked salmon is the best. You gotta love it!

my bro is in the air force near anchorage. he does a ton of hunting and fishing up there. they dont buy meat either.
