This three-part series will share the personal origin stories of featured guests, creating space for broader conversations about identity, belonging, and place. By reflecting on where we come from—and why it matters—this series will be a powerful way to build connection and deepen our understanding of the Copper River Basin as a place of both shared history as well as a deeply personal landscape. This month, our featured guest is long-time local, Steve Edwards!

Seven decades ago, Jim Edwards discovered a place to call home in McCarthy.  Jim's original slideshow, presented by Jim's son Stephen Edwards, is a window into his life as a homesteader, surveyor and father from the 1950's to the 2000's.

Meet in Porphyry Place cabin on the WMC Campus on June 27 at 7pm.
