He arrived at Little Diomede at the same time that some Inupiaq Russians appeared on the sea ice nearby. Alex later took charge of KOTZ, Kotzebue's new public radio station, which he shaped into a valuable information resource for the people of Alaska's huge northwest region. At each step along the way, Alex made friends with Alaska's village people and developed a deep respect for them.In Finding Alaska's Villages Alex also describes how he helped the state's telecom pioneers bring about an innovation that would forever change rural Alaska.
