I moved here in 1980 from Colorado.  I spent a couple of years here during the Korean kerfuffle while my dad was stationed at Elmendorf, loved it which is why I came back.  Spent a summer in Ketchikan working on a seine boat one summer in my youth, which just reinforced my desire to return, and I did at the first opportunity.  My dad was career military, meaning I lived in Alaska when it was a territory, as was Hawaii when I arrived there, plus 4 other states.  But I LIVE in Alaska.
