Bill Sherwonit ’71 has been writing about his adopted home state of Alaska for 40 years.

“I’m slowing down, but continue to be an active nature writer, documenting and celebrating the wildness in our world (and within us),” he says. He notes that the photo “shows me (or at least my lower body) in a blueberry patch within the Falls Creek drainage of Chugach State Park, Anchorage’s ‘backyard wilderness’ and a favorite place of mine.” Sherwonit is the author of more than a dozen books, including To the Top of Denali: Climbing Adventures on North America’s Highest Peak.
