Friday, April 16
A highway to Alaska had been talked about since the 1920s. With WW II underway, it became a necessity in 1942. FDR signed the funding bill on February 11th. Construction began just 26 days later – and was completed in seven months! With a degree in metallurgical engineering in his pocket and 2nd Lieutenant bars on his collar, Alden Hecker was there. On April 16th he’ll be at MAC-West to share with us his memories of building the Alaska Highway. Following his highway work, Alden was assigned to the Pacific theatre. He then served in the reserves, retiring as a Colonel in 1978. He is a native of St. Louis, receiving his B.S. from the UM School of Mines and Metallurgy (Rolla). Mr. Hacker was employed for 40 years by McQuay Norris Mfg. Co., rising from Metallurgical Engineer to VP of Engineering, and member of the Board of Directors.
