I am sorry for your loss. I have been looking for Carol to let her know that I wrote about her dad and stepmother in my book "The Call of the Last Frontier." For those family members interested, Frank and Kathy Milliman were very helpful to my husband and me when we were bush teachers in Alaska. I'm sorry to have found this obituary instead of Carol's contact information.

So sorry for your loss. Carol was a delightful woman. I knew her from the Writer's group and always looked forward to her wonderful stories. She was an example of strength through hardships.
