Bob Miller: Alaska-The Way It Should Be Taught in School
Friday, February 29: 9:00 - 10:30 PM.

I am the proud Irish son of migrant hillbillies from West Virginia. I was borned and then grew taller (I never actually grew UP) in the wilds of Washington, D.C.

After serving a lengthy sentence as a Yuppie in the service of AT & T, I chucked it all to drive up to the Last Frontier in 1988. Having majored in Philosophy and Theatre back in college, I was essentially unfit for any real work, hence I became the anchorman for the Fairbanks Evening News at 6.

I've also dabbled in performing, writing, and directing the Malemute Saloon Show for the past 15 years. I sing a bit, play the guitar and banjo, tap my right foot slightly off rhythm, tell bad jokes, and generally have a pretty good time.

At this late stage in life, as the last of my once black hair shifts to grey, my life motto is "Only you can prevent narcissism".
