Alibi Mike and His Gang of Parasites on the State: The Experiences of a Fisheries Biologist's First Summer in Alaska

This collection of tales is Kim Francisco's memories of his first summer working for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game's Commercial Fisheries Division in the Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Region. His experiences ranged from mundane to life-threatening, comical to tragic. He found it so satisfying it led to a lifelong career in natural resource management. These events occurred primarily in 1973; however, the timeline occasionally jumps to reach the final conclusion. Fishermen are notoriously difficult to persuade, so fisheries management mostly deals with people, which was interesting in Alaska's cross-cultural life. Life-long friendships are formed, and romance is part of every 21-year-old's life.
