PAULA:  Right now, I can't think of anything else, so I think we can -- unless you have question. 

KAREN:  Well, I just thought of one, I was going to put a nice way to maybe close it is thinking about what it's meant to you to have done this kind of work and have been a health aide. 

PAULA:  Well, I -- I always call it, it was a -- it's a good memory, in spite of negative things in between, it was the most gratifying work I did.  And it gives me good memories to have taught all the health aides, there's 200 -- over 200 health aides, and share everything, and I'm still sharing it through that little article in Delta Discovery. 

And I still love the health aides.  I used to write to them all the time and say greatest health aide -- health aides in YK Delta.  And I think they are doing wonderful job.  And so it's -- it's good.  Every time I'm talking about health aiding, it always perked me up. 

KAREN:  Good.  Well, I very much enjoyed getting to know you a little bit and meeting you, and thank you very much for your time.
 
PAULA:  Uh-hum (affirmative).  You're welcome.  I enjoyed it, too.
