Lita has several presentations in Michigan next week so she’s been preparing some slide images to go along with her talks. I thought these pictures of Lita in Alaska were great.
Lita is a twin, and was born in Ketchikan, Alaska on Revillagigedo Island. Her dad worked as a soil scientist for the US Forest Service on the Tongass National Forest.
This spot is Totem Bight State Park. Here’s a recent picture.
Ketchikan is in the southeast part of Alaska. It gets a yearly average rainfall of 152 inches, and also 40 inches of snow. Ketchikan is one of those places where they have rain storms with 100 mph winds, but they don’t call them hurricanes. And they have thousand foot tall hills, but they don’t call them mountains.
Lita’s family lived in Alaska for 2-3 years and then her dad got transferred (to Utah, then Nevada, Oregon, Wisconsin, and back to Oregon).
