The town's most memorable logger

I just read the article about Arvid Risland who is my uncle on my mother's side.
He died shortly after the last time I saw him at a family reunion in Missoula, Montana in 1991.

The story is a great tribute to him and his legacy. If I ever get to Alaska I will be honored and moved to visit his memorial. Thank you so much for great memories of my uncle Arvid.
