Dear Jama and Paul, This is a picture of the view from a snowboarding hill at Alyeska. (Alyeska is a ski resort.) It was taken on the 26th of December in the year of 1999. Uncle Ivan wanted to see some sights of Alaska, so this is one of the places we took him. I don’t snowboard, but this place is great because I can just watch the snowboarders do all their tricks and be able to smell fresh air. This view behind them makes it more beautiful. It’s a great place; my family has been up there a couple of times and I enjoy every minute of it.      Love always,      Frankie Metzger
