Alaska Flags To Be Lowered for Former Legislator

In Memory of Alaska Stewart Linck

March 28, 2008, Juneau, Alaska – Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today ordered state flags to be flown at half-staff on April 9 in memory of former territorial legislator Alaska Stewart Linck. Mrs. Linck died at her home on Sunday. She was 97.

“We are forever indebted to Alaska Linck for her devoted service to our state and her pioneering spirit that will continue to be admired by all Alaskans,” Governor Palin said. “Todd and I extend our deepest condolences to her family during this painful time and will continue to pray for their comfort.”

Linck was born in 1910 in Seattle and lived in Wasilla and Seward before settling in Fairbanks with her family in 1925. She served in the Territorial Legislature from 1943 through 1947 and on the Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly from 1974 until 1977. She was active in many organizations, including the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and the Fairbanks Club. She is survived by a son, two stepdaughters and a stepson. Governor Palin has ordered state flags to be lowered to half-staff on Tuesday, April 9, 2008. Flags will be raised to full-staff the following morning.
