My late husband, Bob Pendleton came to Alaska in 1962 and went to work for the Stewart’s, who often took young aspiring photographers under their wing, giving them a job, plus a great start in learning how to be an Alaskan. Star was an integral part of it all. What a delight she was for the children of Anchorage, as well as all the big kids ( like me)!
Cindy - We were waiting for your reply to this story. Bob went on to become a prominent Alaskan filmmaker. Glad you enjoyed our look at Star the Reindeer and the Stewarts.
I was a little girl in Anchorage when I first met Star in 1975. My home life was sad and lonely. I remember walking by Star's home, and sticking my little fingers through the chain link fence for her to lick them. It was such a magical experience for a sad little girl. Each time I visit Anchorage, I go and see Star. I am sad to hear there will not be another Star for everyone to enjoy.
My husband Bob rented a basement apartment from the Stewarts in the mid-60s, and several times was allowed to take Star for a walk. Great memories of both Star and the Stewarts!
