WHAT is a TOKEN?
• The world famous folk hero Stubbs happens to have been one of the many forms of a "TOKEN." It is 2027 and time to celebrate Mayor Stubbs Ten Year Forget - Me - Not. Current online history claims that his political career was not marked by true events. For Stubbs Forget-Me-Not I would like to present an alternative possibility.

The earliest know use of the word TOKEN
AI Mode Conversation:
The earliest known use of the word token dates back to the Old English period (pre-1150).
• According to historical records from the Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster, both the noun and verb forms were used before the 12th century. In its original Old English form, it was spelled tācen or tācn, meaning a sign, symbol, or evidence.
The word originates from Germanic roots (cognate with the modern German word Zeichen) and traces even further back to the Proto-Indo-European root deik-, which means
"to show" or "to teach".

The Mayor 1997-2017 Has Wings
The Famous Cat named Stubbs was born in 1997. I moved to Talkeetna the year he passed away, in 2017. I remember the day well. He was very old and being kept peacefully private upstairs at the Nagley's Store. People came to see him every day. But including myself, no one new got to see him anymore. He was simply too tired. I was at the Sheldon Market selling my beaded things that day in July when Mikey appeared and shared that Stubbs had passed. It was sad. I had really wanted to meet him, but I was not in my village in time.
The original concept of the Cat Mayor of Talkeetna, Alaska actually came from an important time in Alaskan history when there was a write in candidate for the Governor of Alaska. Stubbs was born in 1997.
It is October in the year 2026 now
