I met Elizabeth and Herbie through my good friend, Maggie Pollock. I only knew Elizabeth as "mom" and was surprised to find out she was Elizabeth! I can still remember Herbie giving me a big hug each time I saw him and the way he always said "Jeannie" as he hugged me made me feel like I was one of his five daughters! Herbie was a famous dog musher running the Iditarod race making a name for himself as the "Shishmariff Cannonball."
