Stories Left Unfinished

  I told you about a few mysteries in the a while ago.  They dealt with fish dropped over a lake in a crater and fox released on the islands.  I wrote a grant to see if we could answer the mystery but I found out yesterday that the grant will not be passed on to the national office for review.  I am so disappointed.  My grant to study wolverines did not make it pass either.  In Alaska four species are studied over all others as they provide food for families.  Moose, Caribou, Bear and Salmon.  Katmai will be doing a very large bear study.  It will be fun to see where the numbers are today after years of large salmon escapements.  I will have to try again next year.  It is too bad that you have to convince others you need to study all the animals.
