Mike is done with the radiation treatments and he has a few burns and these really strange skin eruptions now- but he isn’t letting it get him down. Throughout the 52 treatments, he had been trying to go to the shop in the mornings and working on a special knife. He finished it a few days ago and it is beautiful (but perhaps I am prejudiced). It is a bowie knife with walrus ivory and mammoth tooth handle, nickel guard and tip and he actually sold it last night to a collector in Anchorage! I am so thrilled for him, it is the first time I have seen him smile in a long time-
