As some of you already know, sixty years ago, in the Spring of 1952, four of us Calvin College freshmen drove to Alaska in a 1947 Ford 4-door sedan pulling a little fold-out trailer.  We went seeking work for the Summer.  That didn't pan out, so we stayed only long enough to get our car repaired (transmission and rear end).  The ALCAN highway was in poor condition, to put it mildly.  We had a 4th edition of Milepost, the bible of Alaska and how to get there. It cost $1.00.  I found it again in a box of memorabilia.  Now we have a copy of the 63rd edition.  It is much larger, and cost $29.95.    Mo
