Juan in Chile
 I
thought we would share a few of the photos we took on our most
recent trip to Chile. Juan, Cathy, Mercedes, and Matthew flew
down December 11 and returned January 2. We visited family,
ate exotic foods and thawed out.
We got to celebrate New Years over Lima, Peru. As
our plane was descending, fireworks lit up the night
sky thoughout the city and around the plane!

With six feet of snow on the ground here in Juneau, it is quite
a mess. It’s also difficult for Rie to drive and walk, even
with her “Yak-Tracks” strapped to the bottom of her
boots for traction and her trusty ski pole to keep her balance.
Therefore Rie Munoz has headed back to Morro Bay, California for
January and February and has rented a house with a nice yard and
ocean view. She says she’ll write everyday. With that she
means, she’ll write something everyday, not necessarily correspondence
to her son.
ARTIST
DALE DEARMOND DIES AT 92
Longtime friend and fellow artist Dale DeArmond
died Tuesday, November 28 at the Sitka Pioneers home. A prolific
artist, DeArmond was especially known for her wood blocks and
wood engravings featuring mythology and folklore of Alaska.
She was also a librarian in Juneau and I remember her ruling the
library with an iron fist.
One of her famous quotes was, “It’s easy to be famous
in Alaska!” Rie and Dale traveled to Europe together working
on stone lithographs in Paris as well as throughout Alaska. They
went up to the town of NonDalton, Alaska where they both did a
series of NonDalton Legend silkscreens; “Raven Went Bear
Hunting,” “Raven had Two Wives,” and “Woman
Bear Legend.” She will be missed.
