A Walk Down Memory Lane

I was sitting at my aunts' for Thanksgiving & on the piano in the parlor was this photo (see above). This photo was taken in 1989 at the TVSF Harvest in Fairbanks, Alaska. I am 6th in on the left in the back row. I won Miss Congeniality. The next night, the collisium where this was held burnt down. This festival only lasted a few more years after this.

Platform?

Empowering Ethnic Women to Embrace Their Culture and Promote Self-Actualization ... I need to make it sound less college term paperish, yet still encompass the idea. any suggestions?

Somebody's Gotta Know ...

What do salmon do when they're out in the ocean? No, it's not a joke. I really would like to know. You always hear about how salmon find the river where they were born and then swim upstream to spawn and then die... but you never hear about what they do when they're out in the ocean, maturing. Like, you never see or hear about them as either predator or prey on them Discovery Channel-like shows. So, I'm asking you. What do salmon do when they're out in the ocean? Do you know? Or, at the very least, have you wondered?
