	Then, when I visited Nordic's website recently, and saw that it also has a strong interest and connection with Pacific Northwest Indian Tribes and their connection with immigrant Scandinavians (the Ballard district of Seattle, where the Nordic is located, has a long and strong Sandinavian heritage), it became even more obvious. Some years after Pete retired from boxing, he eventually moved to southeast Alaska in the late 1940s--living and working there for many years. Pete then moved to Seattle by the mid-1950s where he met and married Grandma Bessie. Bessie was an Alaskan Native. So Pete married into primarily the Tlingit Indians of Alaska. And he is to this day still well-remembered among his extended Alaskan Native family.

	Over the years I have considered who should get the massive amount of Pete material I inherited from Pete and Grandma Bessie. Lots of photos, his two surviving personal newspaper scrapbooks (the best one: Volume 1 of 3, was stolen in San Pedro decades ago), hand-typed journal and autobiography, Pladner-Sanstol poster, rare original Ted Carroll cartoons about Pete that Carroll gave to Pete and that I still have), and lots more. (See, BoxRec's gallery of Pete's Images, for example.)		Over the years I have considered who should get the massive amount of Pete material I inherited from Pete and Grandma Bessie.

-Sanstol had started writing his autobiography perhaps in the 1930s, but apparently abandoned the effort. When he married Bessie Marshall in 1956 and took her back to Norway, she urged him to finish the manuscript, after witnessing for herself what a celebrity he was still.
