Harry Boyle
	
Harry Boyle became the editor and owner of the //Whitehorse Star// newspaper in 1954. The office was a shack on Main Street and the editorial office was an uninsulated garage behind it. The //Star’s// motto was //Illegitimus non Carborundum,// loosely translated as “don't let the bastards grind you down."((Les McLaughlin, “Harry Boyle.” //A CKRW Yukon Nugget,// 2020 website: https://yukonnuggets.com/stories/decades/1950s/.))
	
In 1960, Bob Erlam drew a cartoon of a dispute between a local resident and the electric company and pinned it to the door of the //Whitehorse Star.// Based on this, Boyle asked Erlam to work at the paper. In 1963, Erlam got a note from Boyle saying he was now in charge as Boyle was going back to law school. Bob took over as publisher and then bought the //Star// with Rusty in 1967. The Erlams owned the //Whitehorse Star// for thirty-five years.((Stephanie Waddell, “Legendary publisher dies at 92.” //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 27 March 2009.)) Boyle studied law in British Columbia and went on to become a judge in the British Columbia Supreme Court.((Les McLaughlin, “Harry Boyle.” //A CKRW Yukon Nugget,// 2020 website: https://yukonnuggets.com/stories/decades/1950s/.)) In the mid-1990s, a selection of his letters was published in a booklet for young lawyers by the Legal Services Society.((Ian Mulgrew, “Former B. C.
