Cecil Eklund was born in 1910 and lived to be over 100 years old. Son of a Swedish immigrant, he experienced the Great Depression and participated in the tumultuous formation of the west coast labor unions. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) played a big part in his life where he fought for the rights of workers. Self-educated, he was interested in politics and human rights. He had deep insights about human nature, and the lives of working people. Although his childhood had been solitary, he and his wife, Dolores, had a large family and he enjoyed providing for and mentoring his many descendants. At the end of his long life, Cecil recorded his life story on video.Janelle Eklund transcribed and compiled her father's stories for Loner. Janelle's commentary on her father's life and their relationship adds context throughout the narrative. She writes articles for her local newspaper and environmental organizations. Her subjects include medicinal plants and her adventures through the Alaska landscape. She lives and writes with the inspirational dynamic backdrop of the Wrangell Mountains in Alaska's Copper River country.
