In the early 1940s, Morlander was transferred to Eklutna, Alaska, where he was the Superintendent of the ANS boarding school. After World War II, the school was moved to Seward and then to Mt. Edgecomb, Alaska. Morlander, suffering from a leg injury sustained while traveling by dog team, decided he preferred not to undergo more transfers. He moved to Bethel, where he worked as Administrative Assistant until his retirement from ANS in 1952. Upon retirement, Morlander moved to Ferndale, Washington. He died in 1986 at the age of 92.See George A. Morlander Photographs (Part 2, 501-968) for more photographs:http://vilda.alaska.edu/u?/cdmg11,12309 George A. Morlander Photographs
