Jacob Charles Twiney

Jacob Charles Twiney a carpenter by trade, journeyed to Alaska to seek him a fair maid, he met Twila Lindsey at Scotty's Cafe, she was the waitress with flaming red hair, who offered coffee and donuts with a flair, he needed furniture and asked her to explore all the stores in Anchorage and much more, at Moby Dick's they were slow dancing, which was the beginning of their romancing, by Christmas they were in love and engaged, planning a June we to be staged before two-hundred guests at the Sheraton Banquet Room, happiness was detoured by an avalanche of doom, crushing the house Jacob nearly completed, fighting for his life till he was almost depleted, until strong arms pulled him through the tunnel of near death, and saved his life by giving him more breath, Jacob believes he was given a second chance by his Guardian Angel who he saw in a fleeting glance.
