Juneau Afternoon 6/13/12

Pat Moore and Abigail Calkin
Pat Moore hosts. He’ll talk with Abigail Calkin, author of The Night Orion Fell, the story of Larry Hills, an Oregon fisherman who survived a horrific accident which pinned his arms in the net reel of his trawler; Michelle McCann, who edited Ed Farrell’s youth book Valley of the Grizzly about a young Northwest native boy forced into a fight for survival when the flight to a fishing vacation stranded him and his grandfather in the remote Canadian wilderness; and Lauren Brooks, from Juneau’s Association for the Education of Young Children will highlight The Evolution of Dad, a film to be shown Saturday at noon at the Goldtown theatre.

National Native News, Writer’s Almanac, Music, and more also on the show.
