More about Elise Patkotak
Elise lived in Barrow, Alaska for 28 years, during which time she aged with astounding rapidity. While living in Barrow she was a nurse, health director, social worker, columnist, radio show host, public information officer, city recreation director and Guardian Ad Litem (GAL), working with troubled kids in the Barrow Court System. She now lives in Anchorage with five parrots, a cockatoo and a very nervous little dog that thinks all the birds are out to get his stuff.
Patkotak has a small writing/graphics company, Precious Cargo, Ltd., that she hopes will actually turn a profit before she dies. She is a columnist with the Anchorage Daily News and is the author of Parallel Logic, the story of her years in Barrow.
