Final Entry!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interview
Joe Floyd- Told me about the earthquake and tsunami. Couldn't answer urban renewal questions.

Hazel Jones- Gave information about loans and what was built.

Molly Macintosh- Good story about the earthquake but not related to my topic.

Iver Malutin- Gave a great story about urban renewal and showed which buildings that were going to be torn down. Great story about urban renewal. He was involved in burning houses.

Lila Schwantes- Gave her story on urban renewal. She said that urban renewal wasn't that useful because she only got 10k and that wasn't enough to buy her house back.

Jeanne Grothe- Gave her story of the earthquake.

Research
I went to the Kodiak Daily Mirror and looked at the years 1965 to 1967. Used the binder and looked at the sections where the 4 people told their stories. Also looked at the, "The Human Response In Selected Communities," in the section of urban renewal. Took pictures from the archives in the Baranov Museum that Alice gave me. "The Two Tales of Kodiak." I some of the book but the research already covered everything up.

Late Journal Entry #6

The reading about the villages didn't intrest me that much. I fell asleep twice trying to read this but I finally got through it. I couldnt post this yesterday because of the computer and the internet. I forgot about pencil and paper so please forgive me. Well anyway, the reading didn't apply to my subject but it was kinda intresting the way the villages tried to stop the disaster. One village was praying so hard and so much for the tsunami to not take anything more from their village. The story with Kaguyak actually had Sally in it and that was a cool fact to know someone that was in that specific historical event. The reading kinda made me want to be in their shoes so I could understand the pain and fear they felt at the time.

Journal Entry #7

Today, I interviewed a Hazel Jones and she gave me the most information about urban renewal than anyone else did. I also asked some questions for RJ and I got a really good person for you Garrote so you should come talk to me. Hazel told me about how Kodiak got 3 and a half percent of the money that was lost. She talked a bit about everything and it was definitely worth my time.

Journal Entry #5

I was half asleep when I read this but this reading was absolutely amazed by reading these stories. It seems like a miracle that the people survived this crazy happening. It blew my mind how the ice on the lake suddenly cracked when the earthquake struck. The ice was thick enough to have cars and people but the earthquake suddenly just penetrated the ice like nothing. It also interested me how people painted their boats while out in the water. But the disaster always reminds me of some fantasy story that will never take place in this world but it did. It amazed me how the ground can waver up and down so much that even when you take a step, you can take the wrong step and possibly could have fallen down a ledge or something. This really blew my mind.

Journal Entry #4

Todays reading was on the spot. It had a lot of small details and the format of how they wrote it made it feel like the story was written by the people. It was nice how they put even a part about funds coming in from everywhere and all the support starting to come in by different people. It was also astounding how all the people worked together. Usually, the people wouldn't react so soon to recover everything but in this strange case, they recovered a ton even in 3 days. When I was reading this, the first main thought that went to my head is how the Japanese people survived their earthquake. Their earthquake was a non comparable tragedy. I just hope that in the future, that people find a more  efficient way to defend ourselves from earthquakes and other natural disasters.

Journal Entry #3

Today, I met up with my interviewee Jeanne Grothe. She lost a lot of her memory but I still got some information. It lasted about 15 minutes. Very short but it worked out. She is a primary resource so if you guys want to contact her, you guys can talk to me. On the reading, I learned a lot about the story of the tsunami and earthquake. I learned how hard it was for everyone to take in the fact that the disaster took away people's homes. At the end of everything, 35 boats were sunk, 17 missing, 25 with sever damage, 20 with slight damage, and 2,444,250 worth of supplies destroyed. Later in April 13th, several loan specialists from the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries (BCF) were established in Kodiak's Fish and Wildlife building to grant loans to fisherman for gear and boats. On April 10, supplies kept coming in. In January 1, BCF committed around 800k to Kodiak fisherman and SBA had made loans amounting to 7 million dollars in the Kodiak area. More money kept coming in and eventually, everything was restored.
