“I’ve learned a lot about my hometown of Anchorage, and you’ve jogged memories of things I haven’t thought about for years. I can only say YAY!” Juanita.
KENI radio in Anchorage, featured “Mukluk Telegraph”, where they broadcast personal messages for people living in rural Alaska who were far from the nearest phone.
On Mukluk Telegraph you heard messages like -
“flying over from Anchorage this Thursday. should land by noon. Be there to pick me up.”
Well, we've come a long way since then. Now we use email.
