Alice, thank you for believing in the possibility of a great newspaper for Alaska. When we were younger, well before the pipeline hardened our reality, we used to say that "Alaska is a State of Mind". Our future seemed limitless; our politics was aspirational. The Chronicle of our path toward that aspirational horizon was the Anchorage Daily News. The ADN was progressive not out of adherence to any political agenda, but out of loyalty to its roots buried in the good soil of our young State & it's progressive Constitution. Kay Fanning et al started the ADN inspired by and mindful of the exigencies of a new state. From Kay Fanning to Alice Rogoff our faithful lamp was lit and I thank you. I wish the best for both you and our newspaper.
