Steve Waldron (Marcie Trent's son) - Compliments to you, the Board of Directors and the Selection Panel of the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame for another fine job in selecting the two 2011 inductees for induction into the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame. The task was indeed most difficult and this is very evident when surveying the list of the 40 people on the ballot. My heartiest congratulations to the two inductees. They are among the happiest people in Alaska today. Again, thanks for all your hard work.

REGARDING THE HALL:
- I think it's great what you guys are doing over at Alaska Sports Hall of Fame...enjoy the emails on the updates! Andre
- I believe that you are doing an incredible job with this bog. Three of the athletes featured are alumni from Juneau-Douglas and I try to stay up on how they are doing, but through the hustle and bustle of daily life I was unaware of their most recent accomplishments. I found a link to this web site through another blog spot called alaskapreps.com. In any case, It is great to see all of the Alaskans representing their respective high schools in such fine fashion. Thank you for enlightening our sports-crazed state with this information.
Robert Casperson, Juneau-Douglas HS Boys Basketball Assistant Coach - I admire what you are doing very much!
Carol Comeau, ASD Superintendent - Enjoyed your postings on many of the athletes. Nicely done. Also, well done and informative ASHOF display at the airport for residents and visitors to enjoy.
- Thanks for putting this all together… it’s been a great thing for Alaska Sports recognition.
- Keep up the good work and give whoever is in charge of the Web site a big pat on the back.
- Hello All from Shungnak, Alaska ... The ASHOF website is a very nice website and those of us in the Bush really appriciate that.
- You folks are doing an awesome job with this venue and community benefit. We believe in your mission; teach, honor and inspire. Last year's ceremony was high on the "WOW" scale.
- I commend you and your board for your vision and motivation to create an Alaska Sports Hall of Fame…. Thank you for highlighting the value of sports in our lives and for your interest in making our community better for this and future generations.
Senator Mark Begich - It is really awesome that you and others have created the Hall of Fame—otherwise the splendor of the victories, and the encouragement they can provide to youth and to the positive ‘claims to fame’ they offer us as part of our Alaskan culture, would be lost.
Office of Senator Ted Stevens - Congratulations on all you have done to make this dream come true. It is truly exciting.
David Monson, Susan Butcher’s husband - The Alaska Sports Hall of Fame - How very wonderful for Alaska, Alaskans, former Alaskans and the world! A dream come true for many of us.
REGARDING THE 2010 CEREMONY:
- Thank you so very, very much for a simply extraordinary stay and event! We all had a wonderful time meeting everyone and hearing the acceptance speeches. What a lovely gathering of gracious people. I only wish I could have visited longer with each person.
Well done!
I did get teary, as you probably noticed, standing by my parents photo. I was very moved and knew how proud Dad would have been to have been there.
Betsy Washburn Cabot (Bradford Washburn's daughter) - Another great class - thanks so much for your work! Totally moving evening and one more reason I'm proud to live here!
Janie Leask - Another excellent ceremony. What a great event to witness.
Chris Clifford, Vice President and Principal Business Relationship Manager - Dude, that ceremony was so cool. I've been bragging about it to everybody who will listen. That night left an impact on me and I will never forget it. It's something everybody should see because the athletes let their guards down and unveil their true personalities. It was epic and we both loved it.
I'm really impressed with how fast you have gotten this whole thing off the ground. It's already a first-class organization. You guys deserve big ups.

Janie Leask, Daughter of Wally Leask - What a wonderful event! Wow, and the turnout was terrific. This is really a terrific asset to this community because Alaska has produced some amazing sports figures. Red was so happy we got him there and talks about it everyday.

- Thank you for the wonderful evening of celebration. It went far beyond my expectations. Excellent organization of the event. Thanks to all concerned.
John Edwards, Member of the First Winter Ascent of Mount McKinley expedition - Thanks for the invite to last nights ceremony. In my nearly 30 years of being in Alaska I’ve not seen anything like that. I’m sure you’ve been told this but you truly need to be proud out what you’ve accomplished here. Major kudos!!
- I sobbed through the whole awards night for the pure goodness of humankind as represented by each that came up on the stage and for the work, dedication and vision it took to create such an award. I know it has to be an inspiration and make a difference to Alaskans!
- I wanted to comment that as I sat there with my 14 year old daughter and listened to everyone's unbelievably inspiring speeches I had hoped my daughter was finding this just as inspiring. And yes, she was also very moved by the whole experience.
- Beautiful job last night. Great program, great inductees, and great presentations.

I feel that each member brought a individual uniqueness, which characterizes what makes them worthy of the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame.
REGARDING THE ’07 CEREMONY:
- It was a great event, in all respects. You and the other members of your organization should be quite proud of what you have accomplished in honoring these individuals and events. Well done.
- My mom and I had a BLAST last Friday at the inaugural induction! What a treat to hear from George Attla, Libby Riddles, etc. Usually, I fall asleep during speeches and awards stuff but I was smiling ear-to-ear during the whole event. THANKS! GREAT JOB!!!!
