Thanks for sharing buddy. It is nice to get to know you better. My cousin and a old army buddy I stay in contact with lived in Alaska for many years. I have a lot of FAA buddies up there also.

Great interview Barry. You're living my dream. Since I was a kid I wished I could be a 'game warden'. Sounds like a fantastic life you have up there.

Nice to know more about you Barry! I turned down a job opportunity to go to Alaska nearly 30 years ago. The company was only willing to pay a differerential of about 20% to live there. I contacted some folks there and they said 20% wouldn't cut it so I turned it down. I'd still like to visit there!

Really liked the interview Barry, and it's great to see a slice of your life up there in the FAR north forty. Looks like you have a neat combination of a job you love, a great family, and a wonderful place to live. Thanks for the insight.

Real nice interview Barry. I had fantasies of a life like yours as a youngster. Hope you enjoy retirement when you head South and East. Thanks for the nice photos to drool over.
Happy and Safe Turning, Don

Hi Folks,
I had the good fortune to buy Barry lunch yesterday. I bumped in him here on the Creek. We quickly realized we are both woodworking biologists! I had the pleasure of seeing one of Barrys olive pens, it sure was nice, makes me want to get into turning (but I have a big enough learning curve in front of me with flat work).
Barry really summed it up when he said folks here on the creek are "the nicest bunch of guys you will never meet."
I hope to meet some more of you creekers.
