| News - Local WWME Couple chosen Alaska Parents of the Year 2004 Worldwide Marriage Encounter is not the only ones to recognize the untiring love of James & Shaharriet Houchins. In May, 2004 the first Weekend in Alaska in four years was presented largely the result of the efforts of James & Shaharriet. An interview with Archbishop Roger Schwietz was due to the efforts of James & Shaharriet. The Fourth of July parade representation for WWME in Anchorage had the influence of James & Shaharriet.
James and Shaharriet have been chosen Alaska’s Parents of the Year for 2004. They were selected by the National Parents Day Selection Committee to receive the 2004 Excellence in Parenting Award. In addition they ranked in the top 8 parents in the nation to be presented with the National Award at the National Parents’ Day Awards banquet to be held in Washington, DC on July 20, 2004. On July 24th after James & Shaharriet return to Anchorage from Washington, DC, the City of Anchorage will hold a picnic in their honor at the Valley Of the Moon Park. James & Shaharriet have asked for our prayers for their family, safe travel, and good health for Shaharriet’s mother Viola Porter. Mrs. Porter will be providing care for the Houchins children while James & Shaharriet travel to Washington, DC. We have been offered a copy of an article to be posted in the Catholic Anchor, the Diocesan Newspaper, and will post it when it is available. Click for a printable page (PDF, 72KB)
