地方性遗产

您搭过船吗？您能想像住在船上的生活吗？1946年时，玛莉琳佛林克(Marilyn Frink)离开她位于爱荷华州的农村的家，嫁给一位美国海军退伍军人--乔登「船长」( Wilhelm "Skip" Jordan)，他后来成为阿拉斯加东南部 的一位渔民。玛莉琳佛林克及她的老公住在一艘钓鱼船上，育有四个小孩；婚后成为玛莉琳乔登乔治(Marilyn Jordan George)的佛林克是一位作家，阿拉斯加的荒野生活提供了她许多写作的题材。

她将他们的生活点滴出书，书名叫做「跟随着阿拉斯加的梦想：我的鲑鱼拖钓冒险经历」(Following the Alaskan Dream: My Salmon Trolling Adventures in the Last Frontier)。玛莉琳乔治在书中描述，发生在她生活中的重大改变，从一个原本 生长于中西部，以玉米为主食的农村女孩，到后来成为住在船上的人，面对海上生活的艰钜挑战；想想看两种生活的差异，一个是拥有开阔空间的爱荷华州，一个是空间狭窄的船上生活。在他们的早年生活中，乔治的四个小孩总是身穿救生衣，而当玛莉琳看顾她的孩子时，她的丈夫就沿着阿拉斯加海岸拖钓(一种钓鱼方式)鲑鱼。

除了着书陈述她的家庭生活外，玛莉琳也是一位成功的新闻工作者，她为许多阿拉斯加杂志写文章。


Have you ever been on a boat? Can you imagine living on one? In 1946 Marilyn Frink left her home in the Iowa farm country to marry Wilhelm "Skip" Jordan, a U.S. Navy veteran who became a fisherman in southeast Alaska. She and her husband lived on a fishing boat and raised four children. Marilyn Jordan George was a writer, and her decision to move to the Alaskan wilderness provided a lot of material for her to write about.

She wrote a book about their lives called Following the Alaskan Dream: My Salmon Trolling Adventures in the Last Frontier. Marilyn George described the drastic change in her life -- going from a corn-fed Midwestern upbringing to the rough challenges of frontier living on a boat. Imagine how different the wide-open spaces of Iowa are from the confining space of a boat. During their early years, the four George children always wore life preservers. While Mrs. George looked after the children, her husband trolled (a kind of fishing) the coast of Alaska for salmon.

In addition to writing the book about her family life, Mrs. George had a successful journalism career writing articles for many Alaska magazines.
