Elyn Eby is a mother, grandmother, a sister, a writer, a teacher and a proud member of the Pioneer Women of the Yukon. She is also a talented and commited story collector.

Elyn loves writing biographies of her late relatives and pairing them with photographs to create archives of history for her family.

We met on her flowery patio one Wednesday afternoon and Elyn told us the story of coming north with her sister Mary in her early twenties.

The Alaska Highway sure looked different in 1954.

Tune into this beautifully detailed story of bumpy rides and adventure. We have a short talkback at the end.
