no clue other than the general real names usage...

 SW> Does one need to be from Alaska?

not that i've ever been aware of... there were numerous state related
discussion areas at one time... this was one of them IIRC...

 SW> When did the echo start? Back in the 70's I would assume.

it would have been in the '80s after fidonet was started, AFAIK... i'd have to
root through my old echolist files to see what i can find for the earliest
entry there...

 SW> What was it's purpose when it started?

AFAIK just discussion of alaska, things going on there, living there, etc...

 SW>  Is there an Hawaii echo?

not any more if there was one...

 SW> These are the important life questions that keep me awake at night.

hehehe...

 SW> Does anyone know where I can hunt grizzly? ;-)

no off hand, no... we've got coyote, wolf, fox, bobcat, and couger around
here... i'd love to get rid of the coyotes since they decimated my chickens
last week... got ten of my laying hens and left me with only two and the
rooster :/
