Autorenporträt
I grew up during WW2 in Finland. Girl scouts taught me how to improvise, take initiative and-peel logs. I believe there is a way around what seems impossible if you pray for God and Jesus to help and guide.I studied Geophysics - Oceanography at the University of Helsinki but could not get on the oceanography ship because men were selected. I came on board as a mess girl! An ASLA-Fulbright scholarship brought me to USA as a student at the University of California, Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego. After work in Seattle and Sweden I got a job offer from Alaska. The book deals with select experiences during 30 of the more than 50 years I lived in Alaska.
