They first taught in a kindergarten through eighth grade school in the remote Yupik Eskimo village of Lower Kalskag, located along the banks of the Kuskokwim River in Southwest Alaska. What began as a year long adventure, with the intent of returning to their normal lives in Illinois, stretched into a life where they spent seven years teaching in both Indian and Eskimo villages, two years in the historic gold mining town of Skagway, and the final 18 years on the Kenai Peninsula--where they raised three children. Upon retiring from teaching, the opportunity presented itself to join with the cruise line business and become tour directors. Fred and Cecilia have built a love and respect for all that is Alaska and hopes these stories will transfer some of that passion to you, the readers of Director of the Tours.view less
