more from Alaska



Flat Stanley visits Alaska






Dear Mrs. Blackwell. Stanley had a great time in Alaska. He was here in the late fall. Too late to catch salmon and too early for much snow. It was starting to get cold though. He got to take a boat ride on the Kuskokwim river, the second largest river in Alaska. He helped clean snow and ice off of the window and got to drive the boat. He looked for a moose but did not see one. It was a snowy windy day!. The river froze up completely a few days later! He was sad to have to leave so soon.

We would be glad to see him again some time!

Sincerely,

Ky Burden
