Mike Walsh Came to Nome
Fifty Years Ago Today
How does it feel to live 50 years
in Nome—just ask Mike Walsh.
Fifty years ago today he landed
on the Nome beach after having
left his home in Ireland on May
31st. And that’s pretty good time
even today.
Of course Mike is practically a
cheechako when you consider that
Mrs. Walsh will have lived in
Nome 57 years come June 21st.
She came with her parents as a
little gir^, from Lowell, Mass.
In the intervening years the
Walshes have raised 10 children.
After retiring from mining, Mike
served as city clerk for many
years. Last year he was a delegate
from the Second Division to the
Alaska Constitutional Convention.
