Lind Quick Reference

An overview if you’re new here…from 2011 to 2017 we focused on our ministry and adventures with Mission Aviation Fellowship.

2011

Our first post: a timeline that remained fairly accurate through the end.

This post gives a peek into our lives as Alaskans and our chickens.  It’s also the reason that one search topic by which people find our blog is “beheading a chicken.”

We had a benefit concert and met with a few other MAF families.
