When TES lost it's contract, Bob joined Mel in their real estate office. He subsequently completed the Alaska State Trooper Academy and then took a position as a Public Safety Officer with the North Slope Borough in Barrow. In 1990, Bob was offered a job in Soldotna with the AK Dept of Environmental Conservation. He retired from DEC in 1998 and has been playing with the kamp ever since. Mel's career started out in Miami as an RN. She joined the Air Force in 1963 and went to Flight nursing school in San Antonio. She met Bob in 1964 at KI Sawyer AFB, MI and they were married in 1965. Mel resigned in 1966 and then followed Bob on his AF assignments. When Bob went to Nam, Mel went to San Francisco where she got the position of Operating Room Supervisor at Chinese Hospital and worked there for 1 year waiting for Bob. More recently, Mel worked as Chief of Staff for the Speaker of the AK House of Representatives and then as Deputy Commissioner of Health and Social Services. Subsequently Mel and Bob bought out other partners in their Kenai River property and then started Krog's Kamp. Since starting the kamp, they have developed it into a thriving business. They live on the property so that they can make sure that their clients and guests have nothing but the best in service. If you come to Krog's Kamp, you will come as a guest and leave as a friend. We hope you will come and join our family of friends.
