We drove by The Park Monday on our way to the airport.  Fitting somehow to drive by and be reminded that the reasons we're heading to Anchorage lie therein.  Juries of 6 men found their peers to be mentally insane and those people were then sent south to Portland and Morningside Hospital.  Many of those people never returned and became The Lost Alaskans.  We have found the last resting spot for quite a few of those Lost Alaskans.  A few have monuments lovingly purchased by family.  Many have 'temporary' cement markers with their names and location imprinted on them.  Some have plain markers with no name but only a location on them.  Some people unfortunately remain lost buried in unmarked graves, or in graves that have been resold. 

While in Anchorage we expect to learn and share a lot of information on The Lost Alaskans, and to meet some very fascinating women who have been involved in this project for several years now.
