I received an update that Mary’s daughters are together in Anchorage and that Chuck is recovering in the hospital.  He continues to undergo surgeries to address his many broken bones.  It will be a long healing process, both physically and emotionally as he recovers from this terrible accident.

If you would like to send a card or thoughts their way, the addresses for Chuck and Mary’s daughters are listed below. Mary was loved by many in Seldovia and will be sorely missed.  We will continue to keep Chuck and the rest of the family in our thoughts and prayers.
