Poetic Obituaries: [Sigurd T. Olson's] many friends throughout

the community always enjoyed his exhuberant love of Alaska; his visits to Eaglecrest and the daily walks along Sandy Beach and the Treadwell trails. Everyone appreciated Sig's sense of humor and fond memories of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota and vast array of experiences throughout Alaska.

Sig was a skilled writer and poet--and enjoyed recalling rhymes he learned as a youth. "Be the labor, great or small--do it well or not at all!"--was an admonition he often shared with colleagues within various organizations in which he served.
