Here is Miss Alaska, Stuart Sliter, getting Casey Stengel's autograph when she did a tour of the states when she was the reigning queen. When I knew Mrs. Sliter, she was the wife of a commercial fisherman, mother of 3 kids and usually hosting a party of some sort. Their house was a lively, rough and ready place that I loved to visit.

4th of July
I may just have to go to Juneau for the 4th of July celebrations. I just read that the community across the water from Juneau is going to have Miss Alaska 1958 as their Grand Marshall. She's the mother of one of my high school friends...a friend that died (she "drank herself to death") in her early 30's. Jill was always obsessed with her weight and physical beauty...I didn't even know her mom was Miss Alaska. I feel like I should honor Jill's mom, I can't imagine having a child die a sorrowful death.
