Your heart for Alaska was always in the right place Alice.  You left us with a better newspaper, that has helped knit the state and it`s people closer, despite the political and social divisions that have been fomented by some, like the oil lobby, and it`s illegally gerrymandered-into-office legislators in Juneau who chafed at seeing the truth printed about their oil tax shenanigans.  
You crafted a heck of a good community-centered newspaper that still encompassed honest and public debate that included far flung communities in every corner of the state.  Thank you for strengthening that character of the paper.  I wish you the best of luck and good fortune. -a subscriber
