ERIKA KALWEIS WINS
HEARTS AT PAGEANT
Erika Kalwies again won the
hearts of her loyal Matanuska
Valley “subjects" when she
performed her talent skit, “My
Life Today and Tomorrow,” as
the Valley’s queen candidate in
Miss Alaska Pageant in Anch
orage last Thursday. Dressed in
a German costume of her own
design she sang and danced a
polka, representing the first
half of her life in Germany.
Then, quickly slipping on a
parka made by Tillie Burde
shaw and loaned to Miss Mat
anuska Valley especially for
the occasion, Erika sang the
Alaska State Song, represent
ed her life in Alaska today and
tomorrow.
Miss Anchorage won the Miss
Alaska title and will go to the
Miss America pageant in Atlan
tic City.

I TO THE]
EDITOR
Dear Editor:
Ginny said she was leaving
and I have no idea who to
send this to but we would like
you to put a little information
in the Frontiersman for us on
behalf of our friends up there.
It would take me forever and
a day to write and tell them all
our new address and what we
are doing, but we do wish to
keep in contact with our Alas
kan friends and would appre
ciate them writing us.
We had a marvelous trip
over the highway with no flats.
We moved into a lovely large
5 room house in the country. It
is only 11/~ miles to a town
about 3 times the size of Pal
mer, fairly close to schools etc.
. . . only 45 miles from my Dad
and only a few miles from some
of our cousins so we’re really
back in the heart of the family.
Lewis has a job 8 miles from
our place teaching Jr. High
Math. He is also 8th grade j
homeroom teacher. I will be!
teaching 9 miles from here in j
the 3rd grade.
We attended a very nice Bap
tist Church last Sunday, and
the children have started to
Vacation Bible School there.
They have many children and
many willing workers. They
also have a very active youth
group. But we do miss our
church there and our former
pastor Rev. Bill Miller.
We would like for any of our
Alaskan friends visiting this
part of the country, to give us
a call, or drop in for a visit.
Our address is R.D. 5, Box 475,
Flemington New Jersey.
Sincerely,
Lillian Pinkham
