| Irene was raised around Lake Laberge and Fox Lake when her father worked on the boats as a deckhand. The family hunted up the Teslin River at Hundred Mile Landing with about ten other families and sometimes walked from Winter Crossing or Mason Landing to Livingston Creek. The family did some placer mining in June and then go down the Teslin to set nets and dry fish in August. The T&D boat, //Yukon Rose,// would come to the camps with groceries and clothes and old Bill Drury would set up a table with gold scales and a cash box. He would also trade for furs. At age 13, Irene mushed a dog team from Carmacks to Whitehorse and camp overnight by herself.((Irene Adamson, Celebration of Life pamphlet.)) | Irene was raised around Lake Laberge and Fox Lake when her father worked on the boats as a deckhand.
