We had some huge drama here locally tonight. There was a fatal shooting at our airport!! A man that was wanted by the FBI for child kidnapping (that's what we've heard so far anyway) rented a car, and then it was discovered that he was wanted, so they lured him back to the airport, under the guise that they were going to upgrade his car, but when he got there, the cops went to talk to him, and he opened fire on them, and they returned the fire, and killed him. It's still a really new story, it happened about 6pm tonight. Our Bishop, and his wife, and friends witnessed the whole thing, they were standing out in front of the airport. So, it was pretty exciting. We're just glad more people weren't involved. The airport was full of local high school kids that were headed to Italy for a choir trip. I included the link, if you click the "drama, drama, drama" title it should take you to the local news station web page. If there isn't anything there, you can go to www.adn.com, but I'm not sure if you have to register for that or what. But anyway, that's our big excitement. It involved all the local law enforcement people, troopers, and some US Marshals. Big stuff!!
Then we also found out the Grandma Marilyn is in the hospital and not doing good at all. Our thoughts and prayers are with her and her doctors as they try to get this figured out, and get her feeling better!
It looks like our volcano is getting active again. For the last few weeks it has been deflating after all the explosions, but today they said that it looks like it is starting to grow again and build pressure and it will probably start being active again soon.
It was a beautiful sunny day today, cold but beautiful and sunny. Dad is still working in Homer on the barge, but they're having some trouble working on it, because everytime the tide comes in the barge floods with at least a foot of water. Welding is done with really high levels of electricity, so its not really something you want to do standing in a foot of water! Today he got to come home earlier and watch Duke, so that is good, he loves to watch them play.
I think that's all that is new with us today. We still love you all! Alicia

I just want to clarify a thing or two about Grandma Marilyn--her illness may or may not (probably not) have anything to do with the Portland restaurant experience. And we are not sure whether it was a chemical or what--they were never able to determine exactly what caused the difficulty in breathing that forced them to evacuate the restaurant. At this point it looks like Grandma has pneumonia--we will see if they feel like there is anything more as things unfold in the next day or two. Sounds like you guys had a pretty exciting evening. Crazy!
Love, Earlene
