Alaska Home: Falling for Him / Ending in Marriage / Midnight Sons and Daughters. Debbie Macomber

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ and Ellen had three sons, born fairly late in their marriage—Charles, named after David’s brother, was born in 1960, Sawyer in 1963 and Christian in 1965.

      Hard Luck had been growing slowly all this time, and by 1970 it was home to just over a hundred people. These were the years of the oil boom, when the school and community center were built by the state. After Vietnam, ex-serviceman Ben Hamilton joined the community and opened the Hard Luck Café, which became the social center of the town.

      In the late 1980s, the three O’Halloran brothers formed a partnership, creating Midnight Sons, a bush-pilot operation. They were awarded the mail contract, and they also deliver fuel and other necessities to the interior. In addition, they serve as a small commuter airline, flying passengers to and from Fairbanks and within the northern Arctic.

      In 1995, at the time these stories start, there are approximately one hundred and fifty people living in Hard Luck—the majority of them male.

      Now, more than twenty years later, join the people here in looking back at their history—particularly the changes that occurred when Midnight Sons invited women to town. Women who transformed Hard Luck, Alaska, forever!

      For Bailey and Carter Macomber, who both make their Grandma and Grandpa Macomber so very proud.
