What, who or how and when did you first get involved with the Iditarod?

I got involved with the Iditarod last year when Ed Kornfield decided I wasn’t doing enough in retirement. So he got me to at Lake Hood.

What is your Why? Why are you here TODAY and involved with the Iditarod?

 I’m here today for a new experience at the load out here in Willow.

Tell me about just one of your most memorable Iditarod experiences.

One of my most memorable Iditarod experiences was just meeting all the new folks last year and I’m getting to meet even more today.

What do you know for sure?:

Well, I hope there’s a tomorrow.
