He is the son of Yule and Ruth who escaped to Alaska after leaving Eastern Europe, Hitler’s stronghold. He is the oldest male child of the siblings numbering eight, and by implication the protector of the family after their parents. His chosen home is the homestead where he established a life.
He often lives a secluded life in summertime at the head of the bay alone or with Bonnie where he would find salmon, and shelter to survive the season away from the outside world. It is when he finds time to provide for his family for the coming winter weaving baskets, looking over the cattle, and playing music to live his desired dream.
