Alaska Native Brotherhood Camp 1 honored four youth baseball coaches Monday: Jon Calhoun, John Abbott Jr., Louise Nichols and Bill Howey, awarding them Sitka ANB club jackets. Mrs. Nichols was the first woman to coach a male athletic team in Sitka since Ora Kuykendall cranked out champion basketball teams at Sheldon Jackson School in the 1930s through the 1940s.
