        -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and just plain old LW [K7LWA] (email K7LWA.INS@gmail.com).

    We're back!... from sunny Alaska!

Sunny Seward, AK

    We would like you to join us in thanking Bryan [K6CBR] for graciously hosting last Friday night's Net.
    Bryan's generosity and willingness to help, allowed us a chance to enjoy an extended vacation with Shelley's family in Seward, Alaska.
    It also provided LW with his first chance to pan for Alaskan Gold!
    And, as you can no doubt tell -- by us being here tonight -- we returned home safely and there is still gold in dem dar Alaskan hills -- Dabnabit!

Shelley's brother, Pat-Pan-A-Pan

      On our trip, we learned a lot of interesting things about Alaska and Anchorage  -- which is the topic for tonight's 3 multi-choice Questions.
    So, how much do you (non-Alaskans) know about them?
    Accordingly, please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.

     ++ Tonight's Topic: "North To Alaska" -- Part 1 ++

Flying into Anchorage, AK

---

Question #1: Celebrating the Anniversary of its founding this month, Anchorage was originally founded as a settlement (i.e., township) to provide property lots for those Alaskan Railroad workers living in the Ship Creek "tent city". So, how old is Anchorage this year?
        A. 75 years old (founded 1940), or
        B. 100 years old (founded 1915), or
        C. 125 years old (founded 1890)

Question #2: Sometimes, when U.S. Citizens from the "other 49 States" visit Alaska, they may still need their U.S. passport in order to enter Alaska -- Trickyue or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False

  Question #3: Unhappy with the Post Office arbitarily naming their settlement "Anchorage", the settlers got a chance -- during their first school board election -- to vote on the name for their unnamed settlement. What was the most popular name voted for?
        A. Homestead, or
        B. Anchorage, or
        C. Alaska City, Alaska

          [SOURCE: TBA -- LW's tons of phamphlets, tourist mags, maps, told-you-sos, propaganda, and other stuff found at the Anchorage Airport, stuffed in suitcases during arrival, but now sitting in a pile in the middle of the litter box -- oh, the inhumanity of killing all those trees!]
        A Special Thank You to Shelley's Dad, Ben, for providing the ANSWER sequence tonight.

    ++ QUOTES OF THE DAY ++  -- lyrics from "North to Alaska" by Johnny Horton

Where the river is windin'
Big nuggets they're findin'
North to Alaska
They go North, the rush is on

A-way up north (north to Alaska)
Way up north (north to Alaska)
North to Alaska
They go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
They go north the rush is on
