I lived in Ft. Yukon, AK - which is 150 miles northwest (slightly) of Fairbanks. I've never been to Barrow - but it's alittle more formitable. :) Had to leave Ft. Yukon after the main sewer drains froze up at 70 below. :( Furnace couldn't keep the house warm - I mean - trailer. :) Great state housing in 1978. Check out my blog if you get a chance - and you have some lovely dogs!
I taught primary school for 27 years, and loved every minute of it. I am now enjoying retirement on 30+ acres in the north Georgia mountains with my husband and Labrador Retrievers.
When we aren't hanging out in the woods, we enjoy traveling in our RV w/ the dogs. One of our favorite destinations is the Pacific Northwest, especially the Oregon and Washington coasts.
My parents are deceased, I am an only child and have no children; therefore, my husband and dogs are my family.
My blog and blogging friends have taken the place of my classroom and students.
You could say, I've gone from SCHOOL DAYS to DOG DAZE.

"I expect to pass through the world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness I can show to any creature, let me do it now.. Let me not defer it, for I shall not pass this way again." Stephen Grellet (1773-1855)
