NEW HIRE – Susan Sommer, formerly an editor at Alaska Geographic, started work March 21 in the Anchorage office as content manager for the council’s Internet site, www.pwsrcac.org. Her writing has appeared in Alaska Geographic, the Anchorage Daily News, and many other publications. She lives in Eagle River and is from an old Alaska family, the Beemans. One of her first jobs was helping out at the family’s commercial setnet site on Kalgin Island in Cook Inlet as a small girl. As she put it on her resume’, “a sense of humor and positive outlook were essential.” Photo by Stan Jones.
