Valentines in Alaska

Juneau, Alaska is where I photographed this building. It was of interest because it was called the Valentine building, my family name. Although my Dad's clan sprang from the woods of Smith County, Mississippi, the sight of the name set me to wondering. Who can know? Equally odd was the Gross theater building down the block. Gross is my wife's mother's maiden name. Did the Valentine's and Gross' connect in the 1800's then connect again in 1957. This would make a good plot for a TV show for sure.
