the the a hi, i'm lauren layman's or sometimes i'll say it learning nickel language lehman. i am right now in anchorage where i live anchorage, alaska. i'm just happy to share a little bit of about my here. in 1798. you've seen rush through gloria who is a russian ship builder, married a and polluted woman, alaska native woman from a fog, the heck, which is near code here. and they had 4 children. one of the daughters stayed in alaska and married regarding boston cuff, they moved from kodiak and $1847.00 to be part of the

establishment family for the village of nuno check a small community in alaska that still exists. and it was set up initially as a retirement community for those who had served in the russian american colony and served their time probably about 20 years. and they were looking for a place where they can raise their families and have cattle in the catch fish. and if what is interesting, my father is born in 1917. his 1st language is dominant language and the language that still and you could tell was his language even late in life after he had spoken english for all those years. his 1st language and done that language was russian. the do you remember any major little points which your mom goal during the russians

could go to bed? so it says no effect. when you're a 60, you're off $0.04. what's the 4 digit pin to us that you're going to have so so that was was done by the 20th. i forgot the rest of it for the email. so you have a 100 years old. i don't know how i got there, but i do do those for now. the email is danielle. sit, some of that can i put in, so i like everybody knew each other in the building, everybody's full price and i learned 1st in line was way before i. i didn't speak english until i went to the 1st grade and when we spoke russian on the

church crowns, we used to have a we tell them each other. and when the teachers heard that we were speaking english and they would wash a mile from it. so it does have to and i thought i remember having my last sunday over 4 that's and that's what they do. so i always have a change. does this full question? i would never, as mentioned anyone at that time and it was until years later that i became proud that i speak of the russian language. my name is uh good. uh, greg. i got a gaudy my origin doctors name. i'm a born and raised here and you know, check this graveyard has many and many of them, you know,

some people from way back when a lot of our families, lot of even to the russian area and in are marriages. so we just want to mention some of my family is very unfortunate is family comes and goes. but uh yeah, i had crossed his belt the older style, orthodox cross. my brother eric there is larry, a scope of his actually a brother of mine to skulk of. that's a name from the original russian men that settled here. that was my original family . i meant to ask you, but i, my real name is the scope of. we're very proud of our ancestry. we don't uh, read or deny or is history. we don't and i are russian blood. i'm a leader of native corporation and the tribe. and so i have indian blood in me, i know that i got from both sides and for very proud of our car. larry edge in our history, very rich history grew up knowing river russian, we have version in her blood. well,

there are some typical things because when we joe, we laugh to stories advisory laugh, and we like to tell the stories and trips and trips tours. and so we do have some of that and i'm sure does prestone from, from the russian age on down to today special ed or say you are the most. i'm so much of last to do to explain it to those who didn't understand both languages. the boss and the dogs to the other. so you know, there's a, a door to door salesman who is going around the village here in the notes deck and he goes up to one of the houses and knock some of the door. and the housewife comes out with a broom, it says step was to but, and he says, oh, still pi apple pie, any kind of fire. she goes to super. and my father told me when his leave again is here to see was almost 93 when he died,

but probably is high eighties. he was talking about one of his cousins from then it'll take one of his best friends when he was growing up and is a young man who went on to become very successful in business and sold his business later in life and, and was obviously what we call him a multi 1000000 and it was, it was well off. and my father was a hard working fisherman of his life and as well. and, you know, he, he was able to support his family do well. if he didn't have the same type of financial wealth to him. but he told me this, he said, may be rich. but he says, i'm rich to i'm richard, family. and. and that really has an impact on media and.

and so, you know, he left his life for some left behind some resources, but the reality was what he left behind is this what you saw today. we see generationally young children that are making a difference in our world. and the, and my father and mother really were rich, like richard found the, just my grand kids, the garden, their grandchildren garden. he was my rock and my brother isaac's wreck, and my cousin, naomi's rock, a brother ju, those rocks, grandma and grandpa ro, our names on these rocks the

so as far as i know, my grandpa and lauren built this cabin red one. and then my grandpa and grandma, this was their cabin, is the cabin knock, not anybody home this the vanya gotcha, that's my blue sky. and the address the address goes. gotcha. so this is mr. kevin is kind of like our doctor. we are, we, it's our summer getaways to get out of the city that we normally now live in anchorage and, you know, who are living here is it, it's rather exhilarating. and it's, it's fun. we spend more time together as family here, and we have 5 grandchildren staying with us for several weeks. then we

have 3 more coming in tomorrow. is there actually coughing there? good shrimp sometimes. so that's yes. yes. so vanya here is, you know, i had one before with an old barrel stove, little old one. and then i built this big fancy new one, but we love binders, monitors or distribution for russia. they come over for rush over there. there was a tradition, everyone in the village, they had no running water, they had nothing every day. every week they took vanya and once or twice a week, certain days. and so they live on yours and my mom and my uncle and mike in the village. they always had vanya things seen. and in here i insulated, alternate, old fashioned way. i should wait, you see how it cuts this corner. kind of

a rush and design part of it there. but inside here in the hospital, where you're coming off here, only some homes for high, so to speak, to cancer, the song you're here to use which flash on these rocks, this little stove. you stroke it up or birds like mad because good bunch is good for the bones and it keeps me young as the most expensive on you know sick of this now there is no god bind you like me. the church, this is an active choice and appraisal. very up to the app

. i'm a father, arch priest, thomas, teaching of andrew. and this is the transfiguration of our lord jesus christ or selection sarah sarasota. actually, we have people from all over the world, our all over the united states and canada. just just small over whenever your opinions here that come through here all the time. and this church is the, the most photographed church on the road system in alaska. where, you know, this was built in the late 18 name users, of course crews and 19 o 140 lots of things. wow. yeah. hello kristen, how are you? hi. okay, thank to the goals and take a lot. going show you where you're going. but you're going to have to because it's pretty narrow that you're just kind of calling up the whole steps. this is all hand

built stuffs. cool. this is all log construction and it was all hand you made and they're getting dry rod from the inside out. and, and of course the roof needs replacing and that means redone and, and the probably end up having to have fire suppression, a few other things to preserve the icons and everything else in there. but it's a big project, probably anywhere from half a 1000000 to a $1000000.00. probably just, even though it's a little sample, it's very hard to raise the kind of funds you got to have big donors. and one thing that we found is, is you know, at some point they were opposed to making it commercial and tourism. and so we were cause there was an actor perish and especially some of the older generation didn't want to make it even historic. they wanted to, you know, preserve it and not, not take donation. so much like that. but, but now we've changed, you know, we'd like to share our faith and share it with others and, and, and bring people in to be able to see it. and they loved to give good, good hearts,

cheerful people. and there's a lot of people leave, you know, even every penny counts a leave, a few dollars or 5 or 10, maybe a 20 a good lord willing who in a few years it'll be like no. and it will stay that way for the next 100 years plus . so, and hopefully the parents will grow with brochures and members as we go forward. and people learn more about the orthodox faith. the the russian states never have side effects on them. the most sense community, not all sense and the same assistance must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will fan in the european union,

the kremlin, the machine, the state on russia to de escalate the ortiz full neck. even our video agency, roughly all the band on youtube, the question, did you say even closer to the present as the goals were? as st. julie, no, you weren't that explanation hearing was. so last time we are in the south central portion of the stage of the building that we're in right now. it was built about 20142014 was our 1st service over the course of a company years they built the church here. the

made the page is i grew up with rent in a very traditional and they called confessional. this ran a family kind of parish. i was a lutheran pastor for almost about 10 years, and i accepted a position that elizabeth her securing was so. and 2003 moved here. and i, well, i guess arrogantly, i thought, well, i'm going to go to alaska and make them louis ring. and, well, when we came to alaska, i believe it was saying herman of alaska that pointed us towards the orthodox church. when we came in contact with the church, we met the people, we attend services and there was absolutely no question in my mind. or in our mind

we as a family, we encourage that orthodox who was our home and our whole life was preparing us to come back to the orthodox church. and as you did say that development payable payable, and i last core municipal. and i personally that the payment of knowledge and religion, religion generally in right, yes, it is federal level of care. and it takes kind of for us to intention if they want to go to why don't come out, that's what i mean. that's not my phone goodness. if and if me have to, if i'm going to one of those categories and explaining the show is this part of the placement is progressive, isn't your point across your which is sort of important. a good hitch and the phone just gets lost or anything and it keeps going out of town longer from ireland, which is totally fine. let me okay. if i don't see any when again

i got away from people around town on friday. and so this time you sam, even by safe penny for engineers manufacturing this back up with them. definitely. and plus advice. finally, when trying to finish that up. my them. right, so i'm going to not the sound in. okay. i've come here this like a movie night, then what keisha going, investing left out for us to come from. oh it's again was tell you this will literally take us circulating a good one of our community. 6 or the clinic is there further than somebody's going to make it sound quite sending me any problems with this? can you pull it up? i think that's, that's coming. yeah. we'll try it to me. okay. process, sort of your a sense of ethical with that and believing that the more thing if i know grandma, you're familiar with, cuz i don't think there's even if there's any interest needed from us. but so let's

have a certificate. one that has like, like, i mean you get to deal with the night service because it's because of the kicker regime and the south side more instruction help us with which they probably, unless they need to switch from another school. said i from what do you i'm the last way. so you know, i live in new york here. i made a winston point to which to all of this same stuff the and then i just have somebody come off so i'm needing it, shut back on the golf with. so thank you for finding it. it's sonya. so the proper

protocol that the web, the kind of thing, what i do, i have a question as like a name and you just fill out the best card because we is in ethics. what time does a right to that? because only so then the other store. so that's pretty much from that was that it tonight? so then i noticed it was a said yes myself going to like such kindly by face which case present got no answer. and when i put that on the, i don't know, put that up real quick space and i've had zillow, but they always ask you, is it what i like about? i can just uh, labor based in lubbock. and i'm param, scholarships, cool. let me know that that's good. i don't think what's going on. give me a buzz card. that's good. there's still space. private funding. there's no equipment, you know, that's me for towards, you know, or put, you know, equity air in there. so i would gladly drive it with us $2.50 of them. i did that,

but the systems that i didn't know i didn't come. i learned you can take it, i'm done. i guess i'm, i'm tom took so you don't know is this funny if i don't live below it? and i talked to exactly minnesota in telling them things in advance because how back in sitting here and i suddenly think of that is essentially a push as me as that all of the printer. so typically let's go, can you a dental plan? we also know as much as look to get the feel for that stuff and, and get you to the,

in the earliest years of the russian america, calling the, the, the charge was to go and produce economic value primarily through for and so the, the russians, the higher the l a huge than the low tech people and, and engaged these people in getting for like from the see orders and perhaps seals see why ends and, and others like that because they recognize that back in, in moscow where the, the, the more elite people live that there was a market for 1st and that was important sources when they're coming from or us that they for us to beats with them. and they were trade for beats. the very 1st numerous and for traders could bring these beats over

many bits. so many beats they could make a lot of money trading bids for, for like i'm also said the native hunter wanted to get a gun to see if he wanted to trade for a gun. they would stand the gun on the rifle for a so call they'd have to match the height of the rifle with 1st. that was a trait. that's how they traded in those space. but today, in acreage, we have a winter carnival called anchorage for rendezvous. and, and, and we celebrate some of our traditions and one of the traditions is, is this for the tramping of, for the selling of it. there's actually a marketplace right here during, for ronda, who are we call it for? randi, we're firs are sold and so it's,

it's kind of part of our tradition. this still is the fun part. and we have a winter carnival that is the largest winter carnival in north america. the . this is our brand of the winter flows and we're out to center celebrating the, the last the winter, even though we'll have winter here for probably another 6 weeks. but we're celebrating the last part of winter and the hands of spring with blue sky and goods sun and the there's have been going on for i think this is the 88 year of the address for under quite connection with the

anchorage for rendezvous or at least some kind of special connection. last year i was selected to serve in the position of what's called lowered trapper. and so i was chosen probably because i had served in elected office in alaska. i served in our legislature but also is the lieutenant governor of alaska. and i've been engaged in quite a number of, of boards and come measures and other community service activities right here in anchorage dispos acreage for rendezvous. since i was child the biggest event and, and just still the biggest event today are the dog sled races. and we were able to enjoy them. and once the once in a while, we would come to anchorage from the military. but more often,

i would listen to the dogs lead races on the radio and we'd hear about the today. we came out with 5 of our 8 grandchildren medical center here on the uh say wow, this is what's called a sprint. that means they're running as fast the whole way. the, what's really interesting is sometimes the dodge or they're not proven dogs. you know, they, they're training out in the country if they're not used to be around people. so

they come to downtown acreage, there's all kinds of smells and things, and the dog is going to and they come in here and they hear people sharing and they said it, it's so difficult for them. so it's a good measures going to want to somehow get his dogs around people too. so they're not social security is the the the fact. so let me try to still no we, we would, it's a shot record is enough to 9 is bad, you know, to theater when you, if you have sort of really was fission aggressive or swap of beach and control room

. so pretty good. awesome, awesome. so i knew it was a study and sort of what you're going to do for lucy's vitale. somebody called me from us, which is kind of nice with that, i'm pretty sure. so that would insure you on the do you feel like i have in the morning when they've gone yet because you live in some way possible, but i think i've got the idea nowhere pressure the goes items the to saw. i'm not, i'm normally at the are you to leave a say on the go we jake. uh the uh the
