Two Area Oldtimers Sharing Life
Together on Pennsylvania Farm
May 10. 106:5
Hello Cheechako News:
Enclosed is $12 check for a sub
scription, air mail, to the Chee
chako News. I moved and my new
address is Route No. .'5, Box 120,
Hammelstown, Pa., near my old
home town of Harrisburg. Pa.
I bought an old farm house
and like it better than in a home.
People there are reading and en
joying that old subscription of
tiaine. It is a good paper.
I am about the same. Hope to
improve some day. Alfred Trette
vick of Kasilof is keeping house
for me. He is in the hospital now
having his eyes operated on for
cataracts . . . Will write when he
gets out Think you know Alfred.
He is an oldtimer. Lived at Eagle
Rock when we homesteaded. He
lived in Washington state for
awhile ... I will he up to see you
some day as a tourist.
Yours truly
Howard J. Binkley
(Ed. comment: Howard Binkley
is one of the oldtime homesteaders
around the Soldotna area. He has
been in and out of hospitals and
rest homes for the past few years.
Binkley Street in Soldotna is
named for him. The downtown
airstrip, use of which has been
virtually discontinued since the
construction of the Soldotna Air
field, was built on his land. Oth
er oldtimers, knowing Binkley or
Trettevick, may use the above ad
dress to keep them informed as
to news of other friends.)
