TO THE FOLKS OF THE LiATAHUSKA VALL®
I appreciate,first the irlvitatior
to be Master of Ceremonies at your
lovely Celebration in commemoration
of your Tenth year,A.C.—after the
Colony settlement. Second, I want
to say,not only I but folks of Anch
orage too arc yet spanking about
the good program and bountiful
spread you put .on, I want to say
third# I meant to speak about the
old timer,who fought the mosquito .
and many times not too lovely a
circumstance (including'absolutely
ao outside recognition)# These, I
meant to pay tribute to, including
M.D. Snodgrass who was more or less
mixed up with the colony idea 30
years or so ago. But—my memory was
/orking on 3, not on 6, and when I
sat down I noticed it-was entirely
'ipped. Se here it is to them now
,i tc but still full of meaning.
