We began our 50th year of marriage by returning to Alaska with our children and grandchildren, remembering the two years we spent there when our family was young. We left Alaska forty-one years ago with an authentic Alaskan souvenir. His name was John Baranof Deck, and he was born December 19, 1967 This turned out to be an auspicious year, not only for us but for the state of Alaska which celebrated the 100th anniversary of its purchase by the United States from Russia. The Russian Governor's name was Alexander Baranof, so he is the namesake of both John and our grandson, Alexander. You're invited to accompany us on our cruise by clicking on this link:
