The 2025 GCHS Annual Meeting was held Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Valley Library. Life on the Slime Line, a history of the Juneau Cold Storage, was presented by citizen historian* and lifetime resident Kimberly Metcalfe who worked four years at the JCS. Metcalfe wrote the fascinating centerpiece of this fall’s newsletter (now available). As she says, the seafood processing plant stunk, but to her it “smelled like money.”
*Metcalfe is the editor of In Sisterhood: The History of Camp 2 of the Alaska Native Sisterhood
