Remembering Evelyn Willburn
Jaimie, my bride, and I were saddened to learn of the passing of Evelyn Willburn.

Evelyn lived in Craig, Alaska, with her husband, Scott. We knew Evelyn during my years serving as a full-time National Guardsman in Craig from 1988 to 1991. She had a wonderful sense of humor, and she captured those years in a way I will always remember through a cartoon she drew about my many activities as a full-time Guardsman in Craig.

That cartoon is more than just a funny drawing. Today, it is a little piece of Alaska history and a special reminder of Evelyn, the people of Craig, and a memorable chapter of my life.

I have cherished that cartoon for many years, keeping it in my safe alongside my DD-214. That is how important it is to me.

Thank you, Evelyn, for the memories, the laughter, and for leaving behind something that still brings a smile.

Rest in peace, Evelyn. You will be remembered.
