These wonderful people are my parents, Helen and Bert Hall. Both are retired now, living in a home on a hill between Palmer and Wasilla in the Matanuska Valley of Alaska. They are active in the First Presbyterian Church of Wasilla, and this is a classic church directory photo.
Here is a morph of me into my parents. Who do you think I look most like?
Growing up, we had a series of Golden Retrievers as family pets, but Mom and Dad have opted for little Gidget in their retirement.
This is their new home. It now is landscaped so that Dad has someplace to ride his John Deere rider mower.
Christmas 1998 was the last time my entire family was together. Given the opportunity, we like to make stuff, eat, go to the movies and take long afternoon rides.
We threw a huge luau engagement party for David and Joan at the folks old house in Wasilla in 1996.
David and Joan met when they were both living in Hawaii. David teaches first grade and Joan is an architect. Svea was born August 7, 1999 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She weighed 5 pounds, 4 ounces. They are in the process of buying their first house.
Robyn is a second grader at Midnight Sun Family Learning Center charter school North of Wasilla. Robyn is taking piano and dance lessons. Kevin is a preschooler who is very adept at using the computer. Their parents, Rob and Amy, own several fireworks stands, including Gorilla Fireworks. Since their busy seasons are summer and Christmas break, we are never on vacation at the same time.
My paternal grandfather, Richard Hall, Sr. died just a few years ago. He and his wife Hazel raised their two sons (Robert and Richard) in Lowell, Massachusetts before retiring in Nashua, New Hampshire. Grandpa is pictured here with my brother Bob's daughter, Robyn.
This is my older brother, Mark. He spent several years as a SeaBee in the Navy, stationed in Adak, Antarctica, California, and Washington. He finished his geomatics degree at UAA and is a surveyor. Although he based out of Anchorage, he spends much of his summers in the Bristol Bay area. He is in the process of buying a house in the Klatt area.
My Aunt Cindy lived with our family for a few years when she was growing up. She is school teacher in California, and has three lovely, talented daughters. Pictured are Kimberly, Camillia, and Christine.
Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Paul live in beautiful Bellingham, Washington. Both of them are retired now; Jeanne was a school teacher and Paul was a fisheries biologist. I dream of spending my retirement years like them - traveling. Visiting them is the highlight of any trip to the Lower 48.
Here are pictures of their house and their view in Sudden Valley. I think they are considering moving to a warmer, dryer location.
I spent spring break 2000 with my Aunt Sue and Uncle Larry in North Carolina. My aunt and I had a great time checking out the massive furniture stores in the High Point area.
