11 LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I believe the Wasilla residents
and many of your readers would
enjoy this item from Wasilla.
February 24. or the morning
of February 25, will be remem
bered for a long time by those
who knew “The Mayor,” the
moose of Wasilla. We believe he
met his untimely end by chal
lenging the freight train. At any
rate, the remains of a moose were
found and “The Mayor” has dis
appeared from the streets of Was
illa. Since he had become a fam
iliar sight wandering around at
will, we find it fitting and proper
I to write ah obituary.
( “Mr. Mayor,” as he was nam
ed (I believe by Pat Carter) had
roamed the streets and paths of
Wasilla for two winters. It was
Pat Carter who had the narrow
est escape, it was doubtful for a
while whether Pat would be able
to avoid being trampled but he
ducked just in time while the
moose just brushed past his coat
tails.
“The Mayor” roamed where
ever he pleased, and when ever
he pleased and anyone crossing
his path would see him stand j
and shake his huge, scared head
and just defy you to drive him
away. Most of us learned our les
son in a hurry and would beat a
hasty retreat and walk around
him- Woe to the car that came
along the road and to the tourist
that dared to blow the horn. He
would stand his ground and defy
you to pass until he got good and
ready.
Last winter Kenny Herd arous
ed The Mayor” from his warm
bed. Kenny did some fast running
and made the bunk house just in
time. Several times the moose
kept the section crew from going
home until he was good and
ready to give up the road.
And so it is that even though
we miss “The Mayor,” we are
hoping that it was he that chal
