Donald Rose Wright

I attended part of Don's wonderful memorial service in Nenana, which was a large gathering, befitting the esteem in which he was held. I thought about his mother, who was a nurse and was the only medical professional in Nenana for many years. She helped a lot of people in their time of need. I remember visiting at Don and Carol's Nenana home when I was a child. Don was so handsome and had a beautiful smile. My mother Alice Larson, now almost 103, used to pick him up and carry him around...

A dynamic, courageous, no nonsense kind of man who lobbied against all odds for ANCSA. A true hero advocate for justice. Condolences to his family,

Keeping family in my prayers.

As a child we visited Don's log home on the Chena. It was always a treat. Rest in peace.

Rest In Peace my friend.

Donald Rose Wright gave more to the quality of life Alaskans enjoy today than will ever be realized. His dedication to the rights of Alaskans first people made possible the great State of Alaska that we enjoy today. May his spirit truly rest in peace and may his children and grandchildren and great grandchildren realize what a great contribution Don made for all. Lucy W. Groh, Anchorage, Alaska
