Prompt #37 (Sep 10 - Sep 16): "Prosperity"- Stanley Kallman Alvine
My dad's cousin Stanley was born in Chicago but with his parents moved out to California where two of his aunts also settled. His aunt Olga and her husband Uno Markus had tried their luck panning for gold in Alaska and perhaps hearing from them of the beauty of Alaska (they never found gold) thought to take his young wife and go on his own adventure.
He started a marine repair business and it must have been doing well as 1963 found him getting a fairly impressive government loan to expand his business.

Prosperity appeared to be just around the corner for the Alvine family. Adversity however was soon to follow.
