What is your Why?.. Why are you here today and involved in Iditarod?:

THIS IS MY 28TH YEAR VOLUNTEERING FOR IDITAROD; MY 24TH YEAR AT THE VILLAGE OF WHITE MOUNTAIN. I LOVE IT. IT GETS IN YOUR BLOOD. IT IS A FAMLY REUNION. AND I LOVE DOGS.

Tell me about your most rewarding experience on Iditarod?:

I THINK MY MOST REWARDING EXPERIENCE IS RETURNING TO MY HOME AWAY FROM HOME HERE IN WHITE MOUNTAIN. FOR THE LAST 24 YEARS, I COME HOME TO FRIENDS. I’VE LEARNED ABOUT CULTURE. I’VE LEARNED ABOUT DIFFERENT WAYS OF LIVING; DIFFERENT WAYS OF EATING. MOST IMPORTANT ARE THE FRIENDSHIPS I’VE MADE HERE.

What do you know for sure?:

I KNOW I HAVE AN AWESOME FAMILY: MY HUSBAND AND MY 2 DAUGHTERS. AND I KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS ARTWORK.
