From Craig Medred's Twitter (which is turning out to be the best source of info):

A sixth musher scratched from the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog race Wednesday morning when Willow rookie Kathleen Frederick bowed out.

Frederick, 58, told race officials that gear and equipment problems combined to force her from the race at Rohn, about 350 miles into the 1,000-mile marathon. She had 14 dogs left in her team.

Born in Bryn Mawr, Penn., Frederick moved to Juneau in 2002 and has practiced law there and in the Mat-Su Borough. She's a member of the Alaska Public Offices Commission.

Frederick operates a small kennel called Shameless Huskies Kennel.

That Craig is an awesome writer - I hear he is staying with the back of the pack to get their stories and has an upcoming book about those who have had problems running and finishing the Iditarod.

Thanks tangles - I'll let them know you gave them a shout out from across the pond! Ain't the Internet grand!

FlDogFan, I think you might be thinking of the wrong kids - my students are here in Florida (West Palm Beach) - we do writing about the Iditarod and the older students track their favorite musher doing some spreadsheet practice.

But I do miss the BSSD students and their great work in the past. Hope to have them back next year!

I am teaching a Yearbook Club this year, and some of the kids are VERY interested in video, so who knows for the future!
