A special visit
Volunteer producer Lucus Keppel had two very special guests last month: his parents Chuck and Beth.
The three were reunited during a unique time of year for Nome: the running of the Iditarod sled dog race. Amid all of the busyness of Lucus helping to cover the race, he and his family had the opportunity to witness a few mushers crossing the finish line and to take in the bustling atmosphere of Western Alaska during “race season.”
We’re constantly reminded of the many friends and family members whose support, in so many ways, continues to make our mission possible.
Let me hold Your hand…
Our inspirational spot for the week:
Father, let me hold Your hand, and, like a child, walk with me all of my days, secure in Your love and strength.
October 2006: 28 weeks premature, Sophia Woyte is born
October 19, 2006
Mother and child: Robyn and Sophia Woyte.
In Anchorage, doctors wait as long as they can, but they can’t wait long, and they deliver 2-pound 4-ounce Sophia Woyte, 28 weeks premature. Tom Busch takes pictures of mother and baby and e-mails them to Lynette Schmidt in Nome, who prints and gives them to Sophia’s small worried siblings, to assure them everything’s okay. At the age of one day, Sophia and mother Robyn are visited by John Woyte, whom the National Guard has flown home from Iraq. Little Sophia holds her own and is home by Christmas.
