The other day we went to Chignik Lake village across the lake for dinner. Julie (on the left in the photo) put together a nice spread for us, which she has done for the FRI folks a couple of times a summer for many years now. Her family was among the original supporters of the research community when the work started here in the 50's. After dinner we got to help check the smoker. Everyone in the village it seems has a very large smoker, where they can smoke several hundred fish at a time if need be. Others in the picture are: Ryan Simmons (back, left;fellow grad student), Conrad Gowell (back right;summer intern), Julie's brother Willard (front right), and Willard's grandson. Its a pretty tight community over there and everyone help each other out alot to make things happen. Just ofter this picture was taken, we and about 10 other guys helped a fisherman (incidentally one of Julie and Willards other brothers, Mitch) hoist his boat onto a trailer.
