Pretty much all I know about the Atwoods is that Robert Atwood was the publisher of the Anchorage Times, a newspaper; Evangeline Atwood, his wife was a published writer. They are both dead. But they were known as a politically conservative family.

A gossipy tidbit: The current corruption scandal and investigation in Alaska involves a man who was the most recent publisher of Atwood's Times segment, Bill Allen of VECO. Allen and his business have pleaded guilty to bribing a number of Alaska's legislators.
