ONLINE ARTICLES
Tanignak Lake, on Woody Island near Kodiak Alaska, serves as the backdrop for the Online Articles logo. Original photo (with a floatplane taking off from the lake) by Travis North, 1970. The links below the introduction will take you to the article of your choice. Please return to this page soon, because I'm currently building the article database. INTRODUCTION: You will find the Wilson McKinley's Jesus People web page at this site (a history of that pioneering rock band, plus their only CD release, produced here). In addition to the music items offered at this website, there are many articles, listed below. I love writing about things that interest me. As an Alaska resident from 1953 to 1978 (with many recent revisits), I take special interest in the lore of my native Kodiak Island area. I have recently uploaded articles chronicling the journeys of the Mission Boat Evangel around the island in the 1950s and 1960s. The Ouzinkie Articles List, is an expanding list of articles and photo essays about Ouzinkie, Alaska, my home village from 1958 to 1976. Another recent expansion is the "How to Get to Kodiak" series, on island Transportation of days gone by, including amphibious aircraft and steamships. You will find lots of (hopefully) interesting articles in the list below, with more to come. Always feel free to send me comments, suggestions or corrected information about any of the articles on this site. (Write to: Tanignak@aol.com) This website is © 2005 Timothy L.
