LETTER OF i
APPRECIATION
I would like to thank the people
of Nome and the many tourists
who helped make our first Mid
night Sun Festival the success
that it was.
In a program of this type it
takes many people doing many
things, large as well as small to
get all the wheels turning in
the same direction.
It is only fair that Johnnie
Stephenson be recognized as the
sparkplug and major domo of
the festival as she spent many,
sometimes wearisome hours plan
ning and organizing the festival
at no personal gain other than
satisfaction of a job well done—
humble thanks Johnnie.
Virginia Brown promoted to a
final success the costuming of the
general public and that was no
small job—as well as much other
work during the planning. Con
gratulations Virginia.
The members of the Tourist
Committee of the Northwest
Alaska Chamber of Commerce
wish to thank all of you who
worked so hard during the festi
val. We can’t sit back, however,
and pat ourselves on the back
now that it’s over.
We all must begin thinking
about next year and start forrrfU
lating plans for a real tremen
dous festival that will bring
people from miles away to join
i in the festivity. We can make
Nome the greatest tourist attrac
tion this side of Siberia. Nome
has more potential and more his
torical greatness than any other
city in Alaska and it’s high time
we start exploiting our worth.
To do this everyone in our town
must join together to work for
the common good. We either
hang together or hang separately!
Let’s get together.
Sincerely.
Don Hungerford
