Benny Benson, Seward Alaska. Winner Against the Odds: Benny was sent to the Jesse Lee Children’s home in Unalaska at the age of 4 after his mother died. When he was 13 years old he entered a contest to design a flag for the territory of Alaska and he won. Benny was attending Seward middle school when he won and is a source of great pride to both the community of Seward and to native Alaskan Indians. By James O’Neil

Dee Dee Jonrowe , Iditarod Dog Sled Race, Alaska. Winner Within Sports: The Iditarod Dog Sled Race is an 1100 mile race through the rugged interior of Alaska.
