The LIZ 3 garage, 1978. |

Billy
Pakotak, left, and Felton Segevan, right, were long time employees
at LIZ 3. Standing between them is Tom Ontko, or "22 Tom",
the site chief. All three were avid hunters. Felton is
deceased. Billy still lives in nearby Wainwright and, at an age nearing
80, continues to go hunting and fishing. His son, George, still
communicates with former Sector Communications & Electronics Supervisor
Clive Beckmann, who provided this information. |

Snowmobiles, probably parked outside LIZ 3, in 1978. Natives
and station personnel alike used them for off-hours site-seeing and
hunting excursions. |

The LIZ 3 (or POW 2) pick-up truck. |
 |
Tundra, as far as the eye can see. The flat horizon is one
of several reasons we enjoyed the finest fall and spring sunsets anyone
could ever see. |
 |
My friend, the Snowy Owl. |

'Snowy' perched in the distance. |
 |
Snowy's chicks. Being too ignorant to know better back then,
I visited the nest too often. Snowy abandoned her offspring,
who died. |
 |
The tundra comes alive during the brief arctic summer. |

Here are my POW 2 excursion hosts, one of whom is friend and fellow
console operator Tom Dameworth of Tennessee, during a spring jaunt
out onto the Kuk River. Tom loved to poach salmon there.
And I'm not referring to his preferred method of cooking . . . |
