First arriving from California in 1950 when he was just 3 years old, Mike grew up in and around Anchorage. His father helped build Anchor town and their entire family fell in love with Alaska.
Mary was born and raised in Anchorage. Her Alaska roots go way back. Her mother first came to Anchorage from Point Possession, just across Cook Inlet from Anchorage. Mary's mom and dad both worked on the Alaska Railroad.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so grateful for this Anchorage Memories website”.

Mike and Mary both went to school in Anchorage, enjoyed movies at the 4th Avenue Theater, listened to “The Coke Show” (Mike worked on it with Ron Moore), and enjoyed burgers at the Arctic Roadrunner. And both Mike and Mary survived the 1964, Good Friday earthquake.
