It Happened In Alaska

excerpt
Fourty Eight years ago;  "The Beatles are here!"  "The Beatles are here!"  "The Beatles are at the Anchorage Westward!"  shouted my sister Betty. That's how I woke up on that warm sunny June morning in nineteen sixty six. "What?"  I said. "Why are they here?'  "What are they doing here?"  "This is a small town, off the beaten path.  Celebrities just don't come to Anchorage."
