CBS KTVA Channel 11 of Anchorage featured Aunt Phil last Sunday on Rhonda McBride’s show, Frontiers, at 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Reviews have been overwhelming – looks like people really enjoyed learning about a few colorful characters in early Anchorage history.

Here is a link to the expanded Web version if you’d like to check out the television program: http://www.ktva.com/shows/frontiers/web-extra-history-of-anchorage-546/

Also, producers enjoyed the segment so much they invited me on the early morning show today. Here is the link to that short segment: http://www.ktva.com/alaskan-book-series-a-treasure-trove-of-historical-goodness-310/

And it looks like they want me to come back! Beginning in a week or so, I will be featuring stories from Alaska’s rich past on a regular basis once a week. I’ll keep you posted about that in the next blog.

Happy July to all you wonderful Alaska history fans!
