Meeting the people of Circle

Having the Steese Highway connecting Circle to the rest of the roadways of Alaska makes this village so different from Arctic Village. Life is much better for the people of this region on more than one level. Kurt suggested I not go to the Community Hall, that's where I headed first. What I found was friendly, caring people, not only at the hall, but all over the village. My fifth day in Circle was the day Mary was leaving. My only contact, yet I felt I had many friends in Circle. I found how connected Circle is with Arctic Village. Because of our summers in Arctic and the folks we call family, I feel such a comfort here. I now know our time here will be so, so much easier than our time two hundred miles north.
