From the desk of Willie Delwiche.
My grandfather always wanted to drive the length of the Alaska Highway.
One summer, when he and my grandmother were approaching 70, Paul & Doris bought a Ford diesel pick-up truck, installed a camper in the bed, and headed West from their suburban Washington, DC home in pursuit of adventure.
They made the journey in one piece. It was, by all accounts, the trip of a lifetime. I have a photo from that trip that I just love. It’s the two of them sitting on a log with a lake in the background, surrounded by the Alaskan summer in all its glory. They are vibrant, robust and full of life.
