Mimi Gregg of Port Chilkoot.
COPPER RIVER CURRENT BECOMES HISTORICAL
RECORD
While in Skngway on vacation, Mickie.
Millard became acquainted with two young
ladies who work at the Alaska Library and
Museum in Juneau. While talking mention
was made of the Current and it seems our
local paper is to become the historical
record for our area. Photostatic copies
of all issues are made at the end of each •
year and filed. All our efforts in put
ting out the paper are rewarded by this and
perhaps now even more people will become
interested in our paper. We would ap
preciate more help from everyone and es
pecially from those in our largest area,
those that are served most by the paper,
Glennallen.
