Family and Community

Home  >  Family and Community  >  Family Collections  >  Mccoy Porco
Kathleen McCoy, Peter Porco and Maeve McCoy are another family in which literacy is highly valued. Kathleen is the Pulitzer prize-winning features editor of the Anchorage Daily News. Peter is a reporter for the Anchorage Daily News and president of the Alaska Poetry League. Maeve McCoy lives in a blue nest surrounded by books. She has a favorite old blue upholstered rocker in the living room, with a giant bookshelf next to it.
Home-Grown Writing Culture
Writing is not the principal topic of conversation in our house, but it is a main current. Kathleen and I met while working at the newspaper.


Books as Comfort Food
My daughter lives in a blue nest surrounded by books. She has a favorite old blue upholstered rocker in the living room, with a giant bookshelf next to it.


'Music From the Heart' - Excerpt from Maeve's Book
"Brrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnngggg!!!!!!!!!!!!," my alarm clock wailed, announcing itself to the early Saturday morning stillness.
