Gary Paulsen have received the Chicago Tribune
Young Adult Literary Prize for his distinguished career which has seen him
author more than 175 books for children and adults including "Dogsong," "The
winter Room," and "Winterdance."The Chicago Tribune says of
Paulsen:"Young Adult Literary Prize winner Paulsen, 68, writes books and
stories for young people that tap into his experiences as a carnival
roustabout, ranch hand, truck driver, sailor and a variety of other jobs,
and as a two-time participant in the grueling 1,180-mile Alaskan dog sled
race, the Iditarod. "Hatchet," his most famous work, published in 1987,
tells the story of 13-year-old Brian who, after surviving a plane crash, has
to find a way to face the dangers of the Canadian wilderness until help can
arrive."Paulsen's personal story is, if possible, at least as exciting
as his writing, from his work as a teenage runaway at a carnvial to his
years racing the Iditarod," Lipinski said. "He has since become a nearly
compulsive writer, publishing several hundred books and short stories and
securing a place as one of the most important writers of young adult
literature of his generation."" Paulsen will be receive his prize at
the Harold Washington Library Center at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 27, during
the Children's Humanities Festival.

 Dear
Friends - It is hard for me to believe that it has been a year since
Susan died. This August would have been our 22nd wedding anniversary. I
cannot help but reflect on all the memories she left me with along with
our two beautiful girls Tekla and Chisana. I was truly blessed to have
shared a life with her. Even though Susan is gone, the awful disease
that took her from all of us is still inflicting its pain on others.

William George Graham, 79, passed away at his Fairbanks cabin on June 18, 2007. Bill was a resident of Petaluma, Calif., but after visiting Fairbanks some years ago, he found he liked the people and the area so much he spent at least half the year here. Bill was particularly interested in dog mushing — he was a sponsor of the Yukon Quest each February. He brought many California friends to Fairbanks and treated them to his snowy winter tours, which included informative impromptu lectures on Fairbanks’ history delivered in distinctive bass tones.
