Tony: I thoroughly enjoyed the photos. My wife and I live three miles from Pelican towards Phonograph Cove. We have spent two years collecting historical photos of Pelican, if anyone would like to contact us they can reach us through our website www.pelicancharters.com. We are always looking for additional photos.

What wonderful photos, we enjoyed looking at all of them.

Kay,

I was privileged to have had Cerina in my class when I taught at the high school. She had a true talent for art. I still think of the kids from '69 and miss them.

I also miss Lee's maple bars.

I'm glad you got to see the photos.

Tony

Thanks for all the great memories, I have just moved to Grand Rapids, MI from the Island. I lived there about 54-55 years. My husband was Lee Stella and we owned the Bakery, It was great to see all the pictures of my home.

Yes Babe and other Pelican folks - I am doing digital now and have digitized much of my Alaska stuff. I posted a new album for Pelican people to see themselves in the 60's and have it password protected to keep it for Pelican folks only. I'll provide that password to any Pelican people who'd like it.
I can be reached at jtn@verizon.net

Mr. Nazar, It's always a real treat seeing old pics. of the home town of Pelican, even though I usually spend the summer there fishing, but I too, somehow missed the 60's, your pictures brought back alot of old memories, I'll try to reach you two on the e-mail side....thanks alot for the trip,

How fun to see your pictures on the web. Although I was raised in Pelican and have lived here forever, I was gone for awhile in the mid sixties. I have heard you and your wife's name a lot through the years but I don't think we ever actually met. I will forward your web site/pictures to some friends who I think will know you. My folks were Liz & Joe Paddock and my sister, Vivian Max and brothers Snuffy & Bill. Also will make sure that Norm Carson and his wife see your site as they have been working on historical picture journals of Pelican History. Are you now taking pictures digitally? Happy New Years to you and yours!

Tony,
It has been a pleasure to find your work online. Your photographs brought back many warm memories of growing up in Wrangell. How well I remember sitting in your 5th and 6th grade class room 35 years ago.
Thanks for all the memories!

Hi Tony,

Betty and I really enjoyed your pictures! We came to Wrangell in 1973. I worked at the Hospital doing Laboratory and X-Ray work. Betty taught first and second grade in the elementary school. When they remodeled it, she moved over to the trailers, by the High School, and then back to the present Elementary School. We hope everything is going well with you.

Sincerely,

Jim and Betty

Tony,
Your photography is awesome! I have lived in Wrangell for almost 13 years and have really enjoyed going through the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tony,

Great photos! Jean and I both enjoyed them.

We've been retired almost 11 years and are still enjoying life in Wrangell. We'd both like to visit Maine some day, so if we do will stop by and hay hello.

Tony,
Thanks for the great flash back of Wrangell! I can smell the summer salt water and pulp from the log ships as I view these photos. The older I get, the more I appreciate the wonderful place that Wrangell is, and the terrific folks that live there. I have been living in Juneau for the past 25 years. Currently working as the Surgical Services Director here at the hospital. You must have done well with all of us "brats", we turned out alright. Thanks!

Tony----Going back for my 40th class reunion this summer and since I live in Anchorage, I get down to visit Wrg reasonably regularly. I wasn't much of a picture taker in the 60's and 70's so your photos recapture a happy time for the town and me.
Thanks for sharing

Mr. Nazar, what a wonderful site you have going on and the pictures of Wrangell are so wonderful, I'm so glad I had the opportunity to grow up there, well at least from junior high on. Just a reminder, I'm Dick and Paula McCormick's daughter, I'm sure you'll never forget my brother Tim. Thanks for sharing a part of my youth again in the great pictures. Shelly

Hello Tony! Great to hear you're still around and doing well. Great photos! Hope all is well with you. Hope to get to see you someday.

Hello Mr. Nazar,

It was great to see your photos, especially the ones of Wrangell. I moved back to Wrangell in 1988 and married Jeff Angerman a few years later. We now own and operate two downtown businesses. I have forwarded your site to my father, Bob and look forward to your return visit to Wrangell. Thanks for the memories.

My location is western Washington, I live on the coast with my two sons, and operate a marketing company and own a newspaper. Thank you for posting those fantastic photos! I grew up in Wrangell during the 70's... your pictures brought on a case of homesickness! Just as I remembered it. My friend in Alaska alerted me to your site, and I am so glad she did.
Sincerely thankful you shared them,
Lora Haines-Messinger

Tony,
Such a great site and the pictures are wonderful! It has been a long time since I have heard about you so your site is making it's way around Wrangell, thanks for sharing and I hope you are well. Update: married Bill Privett we have 2 girls and 2 boys, Shane 28, Reme 23, Marni 19, and Jillian 17, two Grandchildren Tarren age 8 and Jozlyn 16 months. My best to you and thanks again for the site.
Janell

It's really great to hear from you Wrangell folks. Thanks for taking the time to write a note.

Perhaps someday, sooner rather than later, I'll get back up to Southeast. Should I, I will stop in Juneau. We spent our first night in Alaska at the Baranof. We were on our way out to Pelican the next day via Coastal Ellis.

update 4/7 - I'm overwhelmed. Thanks so much for your compliments. My wife wouldn't believe this, but I'm at a loss for words.

update 4/26 - if anyone would like to reach Justy or me, my e-mail is jtn@verizon.net. We'd enjoy hearing from you.

Tony
