Long time Fairbanks resident Garth Andersen stands in front of a group of students at UAF's Silver Fox Mine about 15 miles north of town. Anderson's family owned the mine for generations before donating the title to UAF about 10 years ago for use in its mining engineering program. He accepted an invitation Oct. 24 to witness the first major demolition in the mine in several decades.
