Fred moved to Alaska in 1964 and in 1966 to an outback corner of the Anchorage borough called Eagle River. There was no supermarket, no library, no paved streets and no lighted freeway – no freeway at all for that matter. Eagle River was a homestead community of committed Alaskans who were going to stick it out through thick and thin. Fred felt right at home.
 In May of 1966, Fred persuaded a lovely girl named Jane to marry him. He'll tell you that he got the best end of the deal by far, and Jane agrees. She brought a new perspective to Fred's life and they soon settled down on several acres of Eagle River's lower skyline area. They first built a small cabin on the land which housed them for the years of construction on their present home which, literally, had to be blasted out of the hillside. They eventually had three daughters, Cindy, Wendy and Jana. next page
