To the folks that frequent the Alaska Living site:

This is Pamela's Dad in southern Indiana:

Last night, Thurs September 22, 2005, I talked to Keith Upton who is
staying
in the West Mark Inn, Fairbanks, AK. His cell phone is 907.388.2095.
This
is a condensed version of what he told me: Wed Sep 21, 2005, he went
back
to work at Golden Valley to help them out. (He retired at the end of
July
from there). It is not unusual for Pamela to work on her sites all
night
long and sleep during the day. Keith came home from work and found
the
house full of acrid smoke and found that the wood stove in the
basement had
malfunctioned. He ran upstairs to check on Pamela and found her
collapsed
on the floor in the hallway. He pulled her outside onto the deck,
gave mouth
to mouth and called 911. They arrived and was unable to revive her.
She
has been sent to Anchorage for an autopsy. No arrangements have been
finalized. George in Southern Indiana.
