Authors Tell Their Stories

The Educators Conference which I attended was awesome! The photos show me with Gay Salisbury author of The Cruelest Miles. Her book is about the original serum run to Nome which is where the idea for the Iditarod came from and Gary Paulsen who signed My Life in Dog Years for my wife. She'll be so excited. I had a front row seat. Arriving early pays! Gary's wife had surgery recently so he won't be running the Iditarod this year. He emphasized that he will be back next year and will run the race for the rest of his life.
