This was a very special and highly successful cruise attended by more than 30 terrific childhood friends who grew up together in Hawthorne, Nevada. Nearly all attended Mineral County High School in the 1950's and have survived the passage together from zero inhibition to graying vulnerability. Most of us knew each others family and its history. The bond of roots was self evident throughout the cruise and everyone enjoyed its gentile warmth. These are but a few images of the magnificent Alaskan scenery.
