From the Newsminer, Jan 27,2018: Fairbanks- 10 YEARS AGO

Jan.27, 2008- in the spring of 1957 when Don and Alice Mckee family moved 25 miles out of town to homestead at 20 mile on the Chena Hot Springs Road winter trail, they were the only family in the area.
So, the McKees deferred to the family as community principles of the National Grange they learned whiles growing up in rural Minnesota and started the Two Rivers Grange.

With the combined efforts of the grange members and the community they even obtained electricity, a road, the Two Rivers School and a voting precinct, in addition to building their own grange hall.

In November, Don and Alice and eight members of the Mckee’s extended family were honored as the Grange Family of the year at the National Grange convention in Reno, Nevada, for their “outstanding Service to the community and the nation.”
