We celebrate Thanksgiving remembering a longtime tradition, the Great Alaska Shootout and the first University of Alaska Anchorage basketball team - the Sourdoughs. Author Sara Juday shares her experience writing From Sourdoughs to Seawolves about the first UAA sports programs - including a chapter on the Sourdoughs- a team that will go down in infamy. I should know because I was there!
Commercial fishing in Alaska is dangerous- even if it's just working on construction of a new boat!
Mike was working with his boat builder and while inspecting the boat made a misstep, fell about 5 feet on channel iron! Tail bone, butt and vertebra - black and blue!
Mike considers himself lucky!
Then as the Alaska Rotary District Governor, Mike talks about the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards- a program that helps young people build leadership!
College basketball March Madness is popular in Alaska. We pulled out a gold nugget memory featuring author Sara Juday and her book "From Sourdoughs to Seawolves". She dedicated a chapter to the first University of Alaska Anchorage basketball team, the Sourdoughs, that yours truly and former Anchorage Mayor, Dan Sullivan, were teammates. Recorded at McGinley's Irish Pub downtown Anchorage.
