Alaska History

As I read about Alaska history regarding Territorial days and
Statehood I appreciate the individuals before us who worked tirelessly
on "equality" for all. Just as we work today for "justice
and equality." Some names in history: Frank Peratrovich,
Frank Johnson, Fred Grant, Bob Bartlett, Felix Cohen, "William
Paul", James Curry, to name a few.
Saying that, I appreciate Don Hoff's letters as he gives us food
for thought. As any information given I take what I need and
leave the rest. The main thing is for us to know our history
so we can continue to push for equality in fisheries, economics,
employment, etc. Thanks Don.
