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

I’M HERE TODAY BECAUSE I LIVE HERE AND THE IDITAROD COMES HERE. SO I DON’T HAVE MUCH CHOICE.

Tell me about your most rewarding experience on Iditarod?:

PROBABLY MY MOST REWARDING IDITAROD EXPERIENCE IS GOING WITH JEFF OVER THE TRAIL; UP OVER RAINY PASS AND SEVERAL TIMES DOWN TO RHONE AND OTHER PLACES IN BETWEEN WHILE HE PHOTOGRAPHED IT.
