Dear Sir:
My husband and I have returned
from a memorable tour of Alaska.
We left our car in Homer and flew
to Kodiak to spend a week with
our son, Vodrey L. Brubaker and
his family. Vodrey is stationed
with the Coast Guard there.
Whila having fun with our son,
his wife and our grandchildren, I
accidentally broke a front tooth
making necessary an emergency
visit to your dentist, Dr. McKinley.
You are most fortunate to have
in your lovely community such a
fine man.
Dr. McKinley treated me im
mediately even though it was past
his office hours. He capped my
broken tooth for aesthetic reasons
which I did truly appreciate, also
undoubtedly saved what was left
of it. The entire procedure was
done so efficiently and painlessly
that only one with great skill could
have accomplished. Dr. McKinley
treated me with every courtesy he
could — had I been his personal
house guest instead of merely a
guest on your beautiful island.
This has aided in our decision
to settle in Alaska in the near
future — possibly near Anchorage
on the Kenai Penninsula.
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs. J. D.) Margaret
Brubaker

“In the past few months I’ve
been receiving an average of over
20 phone calls a week at my home
about fish and game laws and reg
ulations and other things to do
with Fish and Game.
“In the future please do not call
me about these thing concerning
Alaska Fish and Game as I no
longer fly, do protection work,
predator control work or have any
thing to do with Fish and Game.
“I was never on permanent with
Fish and Game, only long enough
each year to do their dirty flying
and predator control work.”
