| Title | Reverend Flynn preaching a dedication service in the mostly-completed Health Center, Little Diomede, Alaska, ca. 1964 |
| Photographer | Unknown |
| Date | ca. 1964 |
| Notes | On verso of image: Oil drums and plywood form the pews for islanders attending dedicatory church services in the health center the first Sunday after the outer shell was completed. The congregation sits in the ultimate location of the center's main ward while Reverend Flynn speaks from the floor area of the central hallway. Most of the island's population was at Nome and Kotzebue earning what little cash income it has by carving walrus ivory for tourists; those who remained behind did so specifically to help in erection of the center, actually sacrificing much of their income in order to get the job done.
