Forgotten, Morgan Dean Egger, Father of two and one on the way when he died.
MORGAN DEAN EGGER

So new to all of this but trying to figure out how it all works. It seems to me, the best place to start is to simply tell my story, and hopefully someone will guide me to the right place.

As the daughter of a man that died while working on the Pipeline in Alaska, it is important for me to correct the record. Or, maybe it is a matter of updating a record that is long forgotten.

My father lived in California with my mother, Brother, and Myself. He worked for Texas Instruments.I was four years old. Mom was pregnant with my youngest sister. We all lived in California. Wanting to make a better living, my father went to Alaska to work on the Pipeline. I am not sure how long he was there or how often he came back to California to visit. What I do know is that on April 4th, 1970, my father died in Alaska in a helicopter accident that was related to his work on the pipeline.

I can not remember why or when it started, but at some point, in my life I knew it was not okay to talk to my mom about, ask about, or even mention my father. This leaves a daughter wondering so many things.

Recently, I received a diagnosis with an illness that shortens my timeline. (It can affect my brain an cognitive abilities between treatments) How much it shortens it is an unknown, as the disease/syndrome is something that research is relatively new to discovering.

For some reason, as the end of days grow closer, I am not concerned with my own legacy. It is my father’s legacy that concerns me. I suppose at the age of 55, I have had the opportunity to create my own legacy. However, my father dying at the age of twenty-seven never got the chance to do so. As I become sicker and grow closer to my end, I long to know more about my dad. As such, I was pleased to see the Wikipedia link called “List of pipeline accidents” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pipeline_accidents). I But it saddened me to see that it did not include those that had lost their lives working on the pipeline, which by the was often an extremely dangerous job.

I guess what I am trying to say/ask is if there is anyone that is willing to help me to update the record, or the add an additional page that reflects the men/women that gave their lives to this debacle, I would be grateful
