Cuttlefish; Volumes One, Two & Three stories of Aleutian Culture & History by Unalaska City School 1977-1979
Between 1977 and 1982 students at the Unalaska City School produced six volumes (the first three are reproduced in this publication) in the Cuttlefish series. The Aleutian Islands are rich with tradition and innovation. The Cuttlefish volumes were one approach to integrating the community into the school system. The lives of students- whether born in Unalaska or recently arrived-were enriched by the process.

Jeff Dickrell arrived in Unalaska, Alaska in 1990, from Naperville, Illinois, to teach high school history. Immersing himself in Aleutian history, especially the WW II era, he was a board member of the Museum of the Aleutians and a researcher for the National Park WW II Interpretive Center in Unalaska. An annual class trips to Washington DC have allowed him much access to the National Archives Still Picture Division. In 1997 and 1999 the Patrol Wing Four Association invited Jeff to their reunion where he had a chance to meet with the many veterans he had been corresponding with for this book. He continues to enjoy the friendships made there. Jeff has a B.A. in history from Northern Illinois University.
