Harriet Rosebrock presented a program about her 1996 two-week week trip to Alaska with a group from a
retired teachers association. They went from Bowling Green to Seattle and on to Anchorage. They then
took the McKinley Explorer train to Denali, where they stayed in a cabin in the mountains. They saw
caribou, black bear, and ptarmigan. They traveled to Fairbanks and then to the Yukon area in Canada.
Particularly interesting sites were Whitehorse, Skagway (a gold rush town), and Juneau. From Juneau,
they enjoyed a river cruise to Sitka and on to Vancouver. A highlight of the trip was a lecture by Susan
Butcher, who had won the Iditarod Dog Sled Race four times.
