Alaska Picnic and on to Phoenix.
We arrived in Yuma saturday evening from Valley Center, Calif. contacted Skip Weeks an old time Alaskan friend and got the details on picnic. Met up with about 450 or more sunday AM and renewed old time frienships with people I had not seen in many years, Leonard Willbanks, Pete Wylie,Carol Neeley and many more, it was certainly worth the long trip and time to attend this long running function and hope to do it again. We had a night out in Yuma and the next morning went across the border to Algodones, Mexico and bought some odds and ends like all tourists, also had nice evening at the local Casino with Jeanne and her Sister Tiny. Hope to get in some golf while here in all this beautiful sunshine, best to all, later.

How do I get ahold of Skip Weeks? He use to work for my folks in Anchorge, Alaska. My Dad, Dick De Jong, was owner/operator of De Jong Trucking. I will be attending the Alaska Picnic in Yuma, February 2012, and would be delighted to be able to visit with Skip. My name is Jackie De Jong - Miller, and can be contacted at jackiemiller227@aol.com. Thank you for any help you can give me.
