As a newcomer to Iditarod a few years ago, I was thrilled to meet Herbie Nayokpuk and his wife, Elizabeth. I had read many stories about Herbie as a racer and was just happy to have an opportunity to speak with them.
Now Herbie is in a race with life, having suffered a major stroke. This is an article from The Anchorage Daily News. http://www.adn.com/iditarod/hall/story/8456726p-8349721c.html
Herbie said an Inupiaq prayer at Susan Butcher's funeral in September. I'll find a photo of Herbie and Elizabeth that I had taken and post it later.
