This site is about Alaskans re-creating history, thus Time Wrights. It is dedicated to all those who wish to have a better understanding of our pioneering ancestors: the hardships, the physical connection to their work, and the joys and sorrows experienced in their lives. This site is also a resource for all Alaskan teachers who would like to have presenters come into their classrooms to share their experiences and the historical times they recreate. This site is an ongoing work in progress, so please be patient....Ric Wages

Teaching history starts with the young. Ric Wages, teacher, living historian & woodwright, and his grandson. Eli is wearing his great-great-grandfather's hat. Already experiencing his own history.

L to R: Mike Kaz. Jerry Boehlke and Gordon Morey, teachers & living historians visit
Randy Smith Middle School, Fairbanks, Alaska January 2009. Jerry is truly our living
historian at 90 years young. In 1919, Anabel, a former slave working as a midwife in Texas, delivered
Jerry into the World. As a boy, he spoke to former Confederate and Federal veterans alike.
