> Kokrine Hills Bible Camp is a ministry of the non-profit Alaska native

> The only way to get to the camp is by boat or floatplane. The camp is

Larry Bee responded to this........you know how Larry is a bit of a
"low-talker"

I think he said that He and Alec Baldwin are going to Alaska with
Samaritan's purse.

I couldn't hear him very well though....so I am not 100% sure what he said.
