The Yukoner's who have been here for a while, tend to be very kind people. Inherently good hearted. So many to choose from. Just today, I was looking out my office window, and there was a handicapped woman walking very carefully on the ice with her stick, a younger woman hurried across to her, and guarded her steps to safety. People looking out for an opportunity to be kind or helpful.

All of these people deserve an award. They have all volunteered.

I’d nominate Josie Wails and Bozojo, those guys instruct us daily on how easy it is to sling mud, and indirectly ask us to be better. Brillaint
