Evonne's Story
I moved to Kodiak island 33 years a go in the summer of 1975. I trained horses and give riding lessons to kids, it was like stepping back to the last frontier.I learned to be a bartender. did that for 3 years.then I was a cook in the bearing sea on a crabber called THE HUSKEY (130 ft, crew of 7 for five month trips). We delivered the King Crab to Dutch Harbor. just like the "Deadliest catch". On season 5 that is coming soon, they will have a boat with a crew from Kodiak that I know.I also was a photo technician for 5 years. After that I was a manger/buyer for an Alaskan gift shop till 1991, then I went...Expand for more
back to the sea. I got a job on a salmon seiner in Chignik, AK I was in a 90knot storm and the boat was 34 ft. I got hurt pretty bad. It took me ten years to get my life back. Now I have a Alaskan wildflower seed business I run out of my condo on a lake where Kodiak brown bears come and deer and land otter play. I love it here.
My husband and I gill net salmon and long-line for halibut in the summer, and spend a lot of time at the beach with our Australian Shepard/blue heeler, Shasta.
I also have a son and 1 granddaughter.I just put a new 2 new pic,s of her and I will be at the reunion in August
