Dad, Larry Burrow, was transferred there from the Nome radio station in August, 1933 and soon after telegraphed his marriage proposal to Mom, Aileen Spaeth, who was teaching school in Nome. She flew up to Candle on Sep 3,1933 and they were married that evening by the US Commissioner/Postmaster and lived in the hospital/radio station for the following year. The station was closed down in September 1934. I have photos from their time there and letters which Mom wrote to her mother every week.<br /><br />I met Peggy and Chuck Fagerstrom during a visit to Nome in 2012 but have not had a chance to visit Candle.Charlie Burrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477088745884093715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350036554670083218.post-81544737533439777392015-10-02T07:49:12.627-08:002015-10-02T07:49:12.627-08:00Joe . . . the images and story bring the place, pe...Joe . . . the images and story bring the place, people and the rich tapestry fabric of the story to life in such a way I am wrapped in the word picture to the point I can taste and feels the "realness," as if I'm there too . . . along with Curt.
