From Anitra via Diane Johnson

I teach fifth grade at a laboratory school on the Utah State University campus in Logan, Utah. I loved tracking Sue Morgan on the Iditarod this year. She is a geology instructor at USU. She came and talked to my students before she went. They loved looking everyday to see how she was doing. I am an Iditarod junky. I was able to volunteer at the Takotna check station in 2007 and hope to be back there volunteering in 2009. I took this year off as I had 11 graduate credits and couldn't be gone that long. Never again will I let higher education get in the way of the IDITAROD!!!!!

I fly in to Anchorage Sunday at 11:30 and will pick up a rental car at the airport. I will be staying in Wasilla at the Grand View. I am by myself so I have a lot of passenger space in the car. Let me know if you want to ride with me.

Anitra,
Hi from Nebraska.
The three finalists for TOTT 09
handled for Sue this past Iditarod. Her dogs were full of energy and were young.
Volunteering along the trail had to be an incredible experience. I would love to do that one of these days. I was completely amazed at the dedication of the Iditarod
volunteers. They have got to some of the best volunteers in the world.
Safe travels and have a great time!
Judi
