Fulfilling a dream of her late husband Allen, Kathy Arabie took a cruise to Alaska in June 2006. Accompanied by a photo of Allen and five members of her family, the Kathy’s Alaskan cruise honored Allen’s memory and his dream trip. As a permanent legacy for this trip, the family donated a bench to White Pass & Yukon Route which is in the Skagway depot. White Pass officials Michael Brandt and Cody Jennings gratefully hosted the family in the unveiling of the plaque for the bench.
Family members included Jane Pavelka (Allen’s sister) and her husband Mike and their children Nicholas and Pam and Kathy’s sister Carol Shirley.
