Uh-oh ... the world has discovered Joe Vogler. Alaska will never be taken seriously again! Not that it was anyway.

(They neglected to mention his hatred of aspens for some reason.)

Hey, I used to take Alaska seriously because Alaska Airlines used to have a good flight safety record.

Well, doesn't this bring back some memories....

Had to bring the old man of the gold mine out, didn't they? Probably not a good idea...

Yeah. *sigh* Years ago, Alaska was my favorite by far of the airlines I'd flown; even leaving aside their safety record, they were laid-back and friendly and had some of the best and most accommodating flight attendants. Now they're just another "herd 'em in, herd 'em out" airline.

Ha! Oh, fantastic. Yeah, when you (and I) first moved here, Vogler's murder was the biggest thing to hit Fairbanks in years. Everyone was still talking about it. I actually hadn't realized that his body was missing for such a short period of time; the rumor mill (not to mention the conspiracy theories) had blown the whole thing up to Hoffa-esque proportions. "Racist with delusions of grandeur" ... heh. I guess the thing about Vogler is that everyone up here knows he's a loon, but he's a loon who made life a whole lot more interesting for a while.

Ha! Fun stuff. Can't wait to see the fallout on this.
