For about two decades, the parks and public spaces around Petersburg have bloomed each spring with the hard work of groundskeeper Jesse O’Connor. He leaves that job at the end of this month.
O’Connor has lived in Alaska since 1981, working as a groundskeeper in Fairbanks and Juneau before moving to Petersburg. He started working for the city of Petersburg in April of 1996 as an assistant groundskeeper before switching to the baler facility as a sanitation operator. But about 20 years ago he took the groundskeeper job. He’s been gardening and making the cemetery and parks look better ever since.
