Seemingly calm and self-assured on the outside while his internal organs broiled he led the city of New York through its worst moment. Leaders in small scale and large scale possess a quality that tells everyone else that "it will be okay because together we will get through it". Leaders never stand alone; they stand as a member of the team. - More...

photosL. Ron Hubbard's Alaska Adventure; His long winter in Ketchikan - For such a small city in such a remote location, Ketchikan has had its fair share of experience in welcoming the rich and famous.
