Musher

Why was there barely, if at all, no mention of Susan Butcher? She was the foremost woman winner of the Ititerod in Alaska! You can look up her biography on line.

You should do a coumentry on her. She would have been the first woman winner had it not been at battle with a moose that killed several of her dogs.

Her story has far more drama and depth than the Michegan Mushers.

She was a wonderful person. I knew the familty and baby sat her as a child and taught her sailing in Brooklin, Maine. Chales Butcher, her father, was a fascinating man who had a think tank called the Lazy Eight. They worked on simplifiying daily use equipment, like the toilet.
