AUTHOR’S NOTE: Three siblings (Floyd, Lawrence and Verona) from the Keeler family of Oregon came to the Kenai Peninsula to live between 1947 and 1951. By the end of 1980, only members of the Lawrence Keeler clan remained in Alaska. Today, the extended family of Lawrence and his wife Lorna, excluding spouses, numbers about 25 Alaska residents, including many still living on the southern Kenai.
