Granite by Susan Butcher
Have you ever been raped or robbed? How about cheated out of something special and expensive? What about discriminated against, threaten, and violated until you were helpless and hopeless, and when you went for lawful help, the Justice Department which is supposed to protect people, instead protects the culprits. It's like living a nightmare, day after day, year after year for 12 1/2 years never to wake up. The horrors of disbelief and hurt, anger to forgiveness, deceit and obstruction, and justice being delayed and denied. Well, I hope you never find yourself in this situation, because you may not survive. In this nightmare, nothing or no one seems to come to your aid even after fighting in federal judicial system before 161 judges in 28 venues - even the U.S. Supreme Court eight times, just to be ignored. What a horrible feeling The feelings only become more horrible when you know who the Evil Demon in the nightmare is -the United States Navy. Yes, the Navy at the Crossroad
Susan Butcher and David Monson were married for twenty-one years. Together they raised and trained the dogs of Trail Breaker Kennel and achieved many vicotires in major sled dog races around the world. Susan won the Iditarod four times and finished in the top ten fifteen times. Granite was her lead dog for many of these races. She took a dog team to the summit of Denali, the highest peak in North America-this feat has never been repeated. David won the Yukon Quest in 1988 and he and Susan ran the Iditarod together three times.In August 2006, Susan died of leukemia. David lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, with their daughters, Tekla and Chisana. The three of them continue Susan's legacy of raising and training sled dogs, many of which are descendants of Granite.Sarah Douglas moved to Alaska in 1989 to work as a river guide and instantly felt that she had found her true home. She has been exploring the Great Land by kayak, dogsled, skis, and on foot ever since. The mountains, rivers, people wild creatures, and open spaces of the north provide endless inspiration for her artwork. Sarah makes hand-colored linoleum block prints that she hopes convey joy, timelessness, simplicity and peace.
