Colonel Norman D. Vaughan certainly qualifies as a famous Alaskan.

You can argue all you want about Palin but we don't fly into Sarah Palin International Airport now do we.
I just can't consider Palin as being 'from' Alaska-she wasn't born here. I wish that her name wasn't even linked to Alaska. But that doesn't mean you have to be born here to be an Alaskan at heart.
