Ted Stevens (1923-2010)

Don Young reflects on Ted Stevens

In his weekly video column, "Alaska's View from the Hill," KTVA reporter Matt Felling interviewed Rep. Don Young about former Sen. Ted Stevens and his death Monday. "I can't think very honestly of a better way," Young said. "He was flyin' and he was going fishin'."

On Tuesday, Alaska Dispatch reporter Jill Burke interviewed Clem Tillion, a longtime friend of Stevens'. "He had a full life, that's not a complaint," Tillion said. "And he died the way he'd like to go -- in an airplane."
