Letters From Our Readers:
After reading your article featuring Lois Munch and her Classic Tours ("Can you Can in Ketchikan?" - December 1993) we decided our Alaskan cruise this past summer wouldn't be complete without partaking. What a neat experience! Lois met us on the dock as our ship came in, and we were the objects of many envious glances.

She was dressed in nostalgic '50s clothing and was - as your article stated - an unending font of information on the history, legends. myths and facts of the town of Ketchikan. We buzzed up and down the side roads in her shiny '55 Chevy and saw sights and met people not usually seen on regular tours.

For us, nothing beats a quiet, leisurely walk with someone who knows and respects the area and its history. At the end of our tour, Lois drove us back to the port, opened the trunk of her car and treated us to a nonalcoholic champagne toast in honor of my mother's 75th birthday.

We highly recommend Lois's personal tour of this charming town. - Sara, Marijane and Carol Cushing and Terri Erikson - Bloomington, IL - Touring America Magazine 

Red Star  Dear "Classy Lady!"
Thank you so much for bringing your '55 Chevy to the levee - or more, precisely, the elevated dockside, to meet the Garrisons! Laura and I certainly enjoyed our Alaskan encounter, starting with that great tour of Ketchikan. It's obvious you love the place, and we can see why. We'll be featuring Ketchikan in a radio mini-series on Alaska in the coming weeks. And you, Lois, will give the programs class!
- Gordon G. Garrison - Society of American Travel Writers 
Red Star  To view eagles, bears, totems and get an indepth tour, look for Lois Munch. You can't miss this town guide. Lois Munch is unique with her poodle skirt, saddle shoes and her '55 Chevy. Lois knows every one and everything in town. - The Meadville (PA) Tribune
