who was the mushing enthusiast? I don't know if you were aware or not, but Susan Butcher succumbed to leukemia yesterday after a very brave fight over the past several months.. Alaskans are definitely in mourning today; she was a remarkable woman.
Iditarod legacy Susan Butcher was a four-time Iditarod champion who finished in the top 10 in all but two of her 17 races. Her fastest time was 10 days, 22 hours, 3 minutes in 1993.
with some people in GD who were accusing her of cruelty to her dogs. There was a never a person alive who loved her dogs more than Susan did. She was absolutely the best, and everybody here knows that. It pisses me off when people from Ohio who don't know anything about Alaska or the Iditarod - or Susan Butcher for that matter - want to make those kind of remarks the day after she died. No class.....
Whoever it was and I were tag-teaming some PETA types last February about the Iditarod. Of course, nobody's mind got changed, but it was a good argument anyway.
