salmon
Mr. Burns, I live in Anchorage Ak. Having seen enough of your work I think you might enjoy the yearly salmon run. The Ak. run starts late spring on the Copper River. From there it progresses north. Forget the commercial fisherman. Take a good look at the celebration and disappointment of the subsistence fishery. These people celebrate the return of brother fish. All races of the state who have been a resident of one year or more fish. Together we fish. It is hard work. I often describe a good run as circus maximus. I think this is something that would make a good film. You would enjoy seeing this with you friends. Thank you, Steve
