Now it’s time for 49 Voices. Gary Hanchett is a do-everything kind of Alaskan — he is the vice mayor of Bettles, the backup postmaster, election chair, tour guide and trapper. He tells us about some of the more notorious residents of Bettles — the mosquitoes.
Gary Hanchett lives in Bettles, Alaska. 49 voices is AK’s attempt to put every Alaskan on the radio. If you want to tell your story, send an email to news@alaskapublic.org.
