Thank you, "Roy," for sharing more information. Indeed this shelter is being built in loving memory of my late husband John Caouette with money and time donated by caring friends and family. If anyone would like to contribute to the John Caouette Memorial Fund, please go to the Juneau Community Foundation website at juneaucf.org. We are so grateful for all the support and look forward to sharing good times at the shelter.

This is a very messed up state - Alaska!
