20 YEARS AGO

February 2005

Ten years ago jazz enthusiasts in Sitka took a huge leap of faith when they booked big-name talent for a concert. “It was just Mike Kernin and I wanting to do something neat for the kids,” said Brad Howey, former Sitka High music director, remembering a near sell-out crowd at the Kitty Margolis concert. ... This year’s Sitka Jazz Festival is Thursday and Friday with concerts at the Hames PE Center at Sheldon Jackson College.


50 YEARS AGO

February 1975

From Double O News by Liz Howard: We didn’t have a column in the Sentinel in December and January but we were busy. Fay Florella and I attended a workshop in Juneau. Betty Schwantes, Kathy Hope and Ruth Heim held the fort here for us.
