  • Steve Mccutcheon Collection, B1990.014
    REFERENCE CODE: AkAMH REPOSITORY NAME: Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center Bob and Evangeline Atwood Alaska Resource Center 625 C Street Anchorage, AK 99501 Phone: 907-929-9235 Fax: 907-929-9233 Email: [email protected] Guide prepared by: Sara Piasecki, Archivist TITLE: Steve McCutcheon Collection COLLECTION NUMBER: B1990.014 OVERVIEW OF THE COLLECTION Dates: circa 1890-1990 Extent: approximately 180 linear feet Language and Scripts: The collection is in English. Name of creator(s): Steve McCutcheon, P.S. Hunt, Sydney Laurence, Lomen Brothers, Don C. Knudsen, Dolores Roguszka, Phyllis Mithassel, Alyeska Pipeline Services Co., Frank Flavin, Jim Cacia, Randy Smith, Don Horter Administrative/Biographical History: Stephen Douglas McCutcheon was born in the small town of Cordova, AK, in 1911, just three years after the first city lots were sold at auction. In 1915, the family relocated to Anchorage, which was then just a tent city thrown up to house workers on the Alaska Railroad. McCutcheon began taking photographs as a young boy, but it wasn’t until he found himself in the small town of Curry, AK, working as a night roundhouse foreman for the railroad that he set out to teach himself the art and science of photography. As a Deputy U.S. Marshall in Valdez in 1940-1941, McCutcheon honed his skills as an evidential photographer; as assistant commissioner in the state’s new Dept. of Labor, McCutcheon documented the cannery industry in Unalaska. From 1942 to 1944, he worked as district manager for the federal Office of Price Administration in Fairbanks, taking photographs of trading stations, communities and residents of northern Alaska; he sent an album of these photos to Washington, D.C., “to show them,” he said, “that things that applied in the South 48 didn’t necessarily apply to Alaska.” 1 1 Emanuel, Richard P.

  • Vllg.Com Type Supply Balto
    TYPE SUPPLY Balto vllg.com Balto TYPE SUPPLY Balto ABOUT vllg.com I have a longstanding passion for the classic American Gothic typeface style. The style dates back over a century, and like so many things American, its origins can be traced across the ocean and through generations. There have been numerous interpretations of the style, but, frankly, none of them capture the unpretentious, sturdy and versatile soul that I admire so much. I have been working on capturing these attributes in my own version of the style for as long as I have been drawing typefaces. TYPE SUPPLY Balto ABOUT vllg.com In Balto, I have focused on emphasizing the base ideas of the style rather than particular visual attributes, quirks or artifacts of bygone type technologies. This allowed me to rethink many common assumptions about the shapes of the letterforms and the result is a clean, modern typeface that honors the noble history of the American Gothic.

    KAPPLØP Balto og Togo var to sledehunder som ble hedret for sin innsats i det såkalte serumløpet i 1925. De var lederhunder i to av de hundespannene som fraktet serum (medisin) til difterirammede Nome i Alaska, noe som hindret et stort epidemiutbrudd.

  • Who Was the True Hero?
    Who Was the True Hero? Leonhard Seppala Shaktolik to Golovin 91 miles Lead dog: Togo At 48 years old, Leonhard mushed a team of Siberian Huskies. Togo, a 12-year-old husky was his lead dog. He had left Nome with the intent of intercepting the serum at Nulato. He wasn’t aware that the relays had sped the serum along the trail. Leonhard had left Isaac’s Point on the north side of Norton Bay that morning. Having traveled the 43 tough miles with a tail wind, he almost passed Henry Ivanoff outside of Golovin. They passed the serum on the trail and Seppala now turned his team around and headed back up the trail into the wind. The temperature was -30 degrees below zero as he faced a strong wind and darkness. To save valuable time, Leonhard risked the 20 mile sea ice crossing between Cap Denbigh and Point Dexter in a blinding blizzard. He relied on Togo to keep them safe and on the course, and he was not disappointed. On the North shore of Norton Bay, he stopped at an Eskimo sod igloo where he had spent the previous night. He put the dogs in the kennel and fed them well. Then took his sled inside and warmed the serum and himself, hoping the storm would lessen. Early Sunday morning the temperature was -30 degrees below zero with a raging wind. Once again, he headed out in conditions that otherwise would not have been tempted unless it was a matter of life or death. When he reached Dexter’s Roadhouse at Golovin, his dogs dropped in their tracks from exhaustion.

  • Superintendent Updates
    Superintendent Updates January 22, 2021 Dear Gull Lake Families, Gull Lake Community Schools continues to offer both in-person and remote virtual instruction options for students and families as we monitor COVID-19 vital statistics within our school populations. GLCS educators want to thank all of you for your diligence adhering to the strict mitigation protocols so that we can work together safely to promote learning and development for all our kids! I want to emphasize the important role each of you play in this effort by revisiting a story with which many of you are familiar. If you watched the animated Disney Raph Rittenhouse film Balto, you might recall the heroic efforts of a sled dog team led by a dog named Superintendent Balto and his driver, Gunnar Kaasen. Their triumphant entry into Nome, Alaska with thousands of doses of much needed vaccines is the stuff of legend. [email protected] What is less well known is the massive supply chain effort that was coordinated to make this operation a success. The logistics behind the effort involved multiple sled dog teams and the leadership of another driver and sled dog team to navigate the most treacherous legs of the journey. Few people have heard of Leonhard Seppala and his lead dog, Togo, who had to venture out over miles of ice in low visibility conditions in order to meet up with the next team. For the media outlets of the day to highlight the story, they condensed the information into a much more simplified version with one hero. This new version was easier to distribute around the nation and globe and became the legend we recognize today.
