Wow! What a great interview.One of the best ever. What a smart and funny guy. And had there not been two brothers between us,I’d got the chance to sleep with him. / But seriously folks, it’s always good to profile “lower level” and local politicians and the people in the trenches who make such a difference in our lives. Throughly enjoyed the interview however for me it was taking a dirt road back down memory lane. A special ‘thank you’ from Mac’s kid brother.

Macon Roberts: a good man. Anchorage was fortunate to have the blessings of his wisdom and background.
