I got this email from Gary Keyes:

"I just came across this page and saw the discussion about the South Seas Club in Anchorage. Latest one being from tikicoma posted 2017-11-13. I have lived in Anchorage since '83. I have worked on this building 3-4 times. It is now Trapper Jacks Trading Post. The South Seas dance floor is still in the basement. You can see the mural around the wall of the floor. It is now storage for the gift shop. This type of history is really cool as far as I'm concerned. My father-in-law went there while in the army. All the big politicians at the time were regulars. The dog races were the Iditarod which went to Nome and the Fur Rendezvous which is a 25 mile race thru town and back. Both still going on. Not sure if this discussion is over or people still interested but thought I would put this out there. Was standing in the dance floor yesterday as a matter of fact."
