Thought you folks would enjoy a pretty good video on the various aspects of Ketchikan. Please view each of the offered subjects. One would hope you would take away a confirmation on how fortunate I was born and raised here, choosing to live my life span within the State with the majority of my long life here in Ketchikan. Welcome.:flowers:

That first video was so good I went on and watched the next two videos. The third one was my favorite. Ketchikan has been quite the melting pot!

Thanks Al.
Good vids (probably mostly old films) and they pretty much covered it all. Shows how proud the Alaskans are of their state (SE Alaska) and the Alaskans that reflect the country they live in.
I’m puzzeled why you called Ketchikan a village. Over on Prince of Wales they call Thorne Bay a city.
