Sorry, Just had to say that.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

My best friend in high school had spent 5th to 10th grades in Haines before moving to Los Anchorage where I grew up.  I don't think he ever quite got over Haines - he loved it and had a lot of friends there. My first semester of college I went out with a girl from Haines, and I have spent about 6 hours in Haines. A couple who were good friends to me when we all lived in Dutch Harbor, have retired to Haines after living in Slowdotna, Nome, Dutch and Juneau. Don't hear a lot from them but they seem to totally enjoy the place - we should go visit them.  Finished raising their kids there too. And I've met a number of other fine people from there.

So I'm not at all surprised you like it a lot.  Sounds like its about the right size town. Not too big and not too small.  I sure enjoy Heather Lende's commentary pieces in the Daily News.
