Stories from a Valdez Family

The Lopez family came to Alaska in the late 1940’s, originally settling in Fairbanks and then later in the community of Valdez as commercial fishermen. Tune in as Tillie, Tim and Eric tell their stories from the 1964 Earthquake, helping to build the Trans Alaska Pipeline, experiences cleaning up the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill in 1989, living in a religious cult in Southeast Alaska, among many other stories from Alaska’s past.

We’ll talk with singer/songwriter, Marian Call, about her concert tomorrow night at the Rookery; Barbara Craver will talk about her experiments with acrylic landscapes and her First Friday show at the Franklin Street Gallery at the Baranof Hotel; we’ll find out about new research in Alzheimer’s Disease with guest, Joshua Gatson, speaking tonight at Centennial Hall; and Nancy DeCherney will be here with news and views about local cultural activities during Arts Up.

For tonite’s show (provided there is one w/this weather) my stories are:

“The Return” by Fernando Sorrentino — Translated by Thomas C. Meehan
and
“Loss of Innocence” by Diana Reardon

I found this quote and I think it goes well with these stories.

You have to take the good with the bad, smile with the sad, love what you got and remember what you had, always forgive, but never forget, learn from your mistakes, but never regret, people change, things go wrong, just remember…life goes on.

We’ll talk Averyl Veliz about her solo show at the
Alaska State Museum, opening this coming First Friday; we’ll talk with Bruce Botelho and Lee Otterholt about this weekend’s Folk Dance workshops – and Elfrida Nord & Dale Wygant about this Saturday’s Scandinavian Dance; photographer Michael Penn will be here with a preview of tonight’s Wildlife Wednesday presentation; we’ll find out the details about Thunder Mountain High School’s performances of Grease; and Russ Stevens will be here to talk about the Juneau Combat Sports Academy’s Friday events.
