Kids In Alaska Don't Know They're Growing Up On The Last Frontier. It's Just What They See On The License Plates, And It's Something Tourists Like To Say A Lot Because They've Never Been Around So Many Mountains And Moose Before.

It's Not Like Alaska Isn't Wilderness - It Mostly Is. But Most Alaskans Don't Live In The Wild. They Live On The Edge Of The Wild In Towns With Schools And Cable Tv And Stores And Dentists And Roller Rinks Sometimes. It's Just Like Anyplace Else, Only With Mountains And Moose.

They Say A Person Needs Just Three Things To Be Truly Happy In This World: Someone To Love, Something To Do, And Something To Hope For.
