I told
the governor
that
time
was
running
out!
I know.
"In February 1925, Alaska experienced
one of the
worst winters
in history."
"The children of Nome were threatened by
an outbreak of
diphtheria
. The
closest
supply of serum was in Anchorage.
.."
...but weather conditions
prevented
its
delivery
by plane or train.”
"The governor of Alaska decided to use a relay
of
dog sled teams
to transport the life-saving
serum to Nome as
quickly as possible
."
"Great-uncle Nanook's best friend, Jebediah Foster, was
scheduled to run the
last leg
of the relay. Unfortunately,
Jebediah and PM weren't exactly on
speaking terms
."
