AUTHOR’S NOTE: The first of the three Keeler siblings to travel from Oregon to the Kenai Peninsula for a chance at a better life was Floyd Nelson Keeler, accompanied by three of his grown children, Myrtle, Jack and Bob, in 1947. As has been documented in previous parts of this story, he was followed north by brother Lawrence Keeler in 1948 and sister Verona (Keeler) Wilson in 1951.
