Doug and Greg, Summer 1968

Sue unexpectedly snapped this picture. 

I later learned that their landlord for the apartment building they lived in was Nick Begich.  Just over four years later, as a Democratic congressman from Alaska, he was on a fundraising flight with Congressman Hale Boggs, an aid, and their pilot.  They were on their way to Juneau, Alaska, when their plane disappeared over what is called the Alaskan Bermuda Triangle.  Neither the aircraft nor any of the passengers has ever been found. 

Dairy milk was so expensive in Alaska, that for the first time I drank soy milk when I visited them.
