The slime line story is true. Anybody from Prince William Sound back then knows it is. The author of the article, which indicates college kids coming up was unique to the 1960s is not in the know. Furthermore, that Valdez cannery in question was a real shaky financial operation, using disaster loans from the earthquake to get going. The next winter, after Clinton was there it burnt down, I know I was in Valdez the next day. How come the fire is unknown, maybe arson many suggested, but the watchman died in that fire. Back in 1994 there was a movement in Valdez by people who had met her back then to get her to come up again.  Truth is, she should have got on the ferry and got a job in a real salmon cannery in Cordova at the time. It was in later years the cannery business in Valdez finally got to be a financial success story.
