Heather Lende is an obituary writer in the far-flung town of Haines, in Alaska - right up there atop the northwest corner of the North American continent. She writes for the Chilkat Valley News, where she takes stock of those who've made life in her small town so vibrant. Image: The Alaska town of Haines. Credit: Heather Lende
