To the Editor:
I recently visited Chuck Oliver at Prestige Care Center, 9100 Centennial Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99504. We had a great visit, talking of the projects we worked on together in Wrangell. He is always quick to give credit to his crew and the organizations that help complete them. Alaska Lumber & Pulp, City of Wrangell, U.S.F.S., Keene Kohort, Wrangell Chamber of Commerce.
You can’t drive very far in Wrangell without using some of them: Nemo Point road and lookout: Wrangell golf course: Running track: Shooting range: Fill area from Benjamin’s to Old Wrangell Mill site: The Chuck Oliver Logging Show on the 4th of July.
Yes, “visioning” and unity in the community can do great things. Chuck is turning 90 years young this August and would enjoy hearing from you. There are few men that have left a bigger footprint on Wrangell than Chuck. Also my hat is off to the Native organization that has produced some great projects. Looking forward to further “visioning” of Wrangell’s future.
