Join Niki as she reminisces about her childhood in Tok (pronounced "Toke"). There was no internet or cell phones; TV and radio consisted of only one station, but none of that mattered. What did matter was the people, the experiences, and the memories they created together.

Laugh, and maybe cry a little, as you read about the community of Tok, and the people that made it special. Here's to remembering childhood....Here's to Growing up Alaska.
