Fairbanks Arts Association Reading Series

Judy Ferguson, a free-lance columnist for the Anchorage Daily News, Life and Arts, Alaskana page as well as a ten-year freelance columnist for the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner?s Heartland/Sunday Section, is a well-known writer to Interior Alaskans. Judy?s Alaska background, starting in 1968, sparked her writing. For twenty-four years, Judy lived a remote Alaska life-style on a home site accessible only by boat and dog sled. There on the Tanana River, as well as on their trapline, she and her husband, Reb, raised three children. She and Reb still make their home in the Big Delta area near their home site. She will be reading from her newest work, Bridges to Statehood: the Alaska-Yugoslav Connection.
