Stepovich Family Is Getting Ready
To Move Into Governor’s Mansion
BY ELLEN WHITCHER
Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
Staff Writer
F AIR BANKS, Iff)—“Are we
really going to live in a mansion,
mother?”
To Michael, Peter and Cristo
pher, ages 6, 4Vi and 3Vfe, the mid
dle three of the seven Stepovich
children, a mansion means ihe
palace of a princess. Their moth
I er fears they are expecting to
move into a turreted castle, com
plete with moat and battlements.
Antonia, 8and Maria, 7, the
oldest of the new govrenor’s chil
dren, remember the mansion in
Juneau. They had tea there four
years ago with the Gruening
grandchildren.
Naturally there was great ex
citement in the Stepovich house
hold when the children heard that
daddy was to be governor. An
tonia said she wasn’t going to tell
anybody at school. “Let’s keep
it a secret,” she said.
Domenic, who is just 16 months
old, went about his usual activi
ties today, adding zest to an al
ready hectic morning by upsetting
the floor cleaner.
Baby Teddy (Theodore John)
had little to say. He is only five
months old.
As for Mrs. Stepovich, now 35,
“I can’t believe this is happening
to me,” she said.
When she heard about all those
rooms, her first thought was—at
last, a place for her sewing ma
chine. She’s been itching to get at
a big box of material she bought
recently for clothes for the chil
dren and herself.
Mrs. Stepovich, who incident
ally has an enviable reputation as
i-— -———
! a cook—especially for her soups
—likes gardening almost as much
as sewing.
The new first lady of Alaska, a
tall slender brunet with -gray eyes
and e wide smile, is not tied down
with homemaking. You can’t call
her a clubwoman, but she attends
her share of meetings and takes
an active interest in community
problems.
She is past president of the
Fairbanks Women’s Republican
Club and serves on the executive
board of the Fairbanks branch of
the American Assn, of University
Women.
At St. Joseph’s Hospital here,
! she is a member of the lay advis
ory board, and she belongs to
Auxiliary No. 8, Pioneers of Alas
ka.
In 1943, after her graduation
from the University of Oregon
where she majored in law, she
became a social work refor the
Public Welfare Department in
Multnomah County, Oregon.
She married Mike an November
27, 1947.
She first met Mike Stepovich
when they were children. He was
10, she recalls. But she didn’t see
him again until the year they
were married.
Courtesy is always a paying in
vestment — because its stock is
never watered with tears of
regret.
