I am the granddaughter of Charles & Florence Personeus, who pioneered the first Assemblies of God church in Alaska in Juneau in 1917. They often spoke of Grandma Parker and helping her with Sunday school in Strawberry Point. They loved to go there to pick strawberries too. My grandma wrote a poem based on Grandma Parker's motto, "Trust and Make the Best of Things," which is published in my book about the Personeuses, "Frontiers of Faith," available through my website www.annaleeconti.com.

Hello, Linda! Having a wonderful time admiring all the good work on this site. I'm writing some stories about meeting Mike there in 1967. What a great resource. Thank you!

It was nice to see old photos of my grandmother jesse with her friends and the old sam buoy homestead pics. If anyone knows the owners of the old buoy homestead please facebook me, i would like to eventually bring it back to the family someday, very important to me personally.

Thank you for this site and this story of both sorrow and joy. My sister told me of this Wednesday as I spoke with her on the phone. Almost 58 years to the day that we lost our Father. I am a bit too emotional to speak much at this point but I and my five siblings, my Mom, and many others have missed my Dad, David Dial deeply. Thank you for keeping this site going! Thank you to the brave souls of Gustavus for their efforts in finding and saving the survivors.

I lived in Gustavus for a couple of years in the early 70's and saw the remains of a lot of the old homesteads that did not make it. Your website fills in some of the gaps of what went on back in the "old" days! Here it is 40 some years later and it makes one wonder, when were the "old" days. Keep up the good work!

I was a childhood friend of Florence Tong and found the article about the renaming of Tong Rd. interesting. I thought Florence & Larry were real pioneers moving to the AK wilderness.
