Talk:Carl Huntington

More comments
The Anchorage Daily News reported Huntington as 53 years old on January 1, 2000 (a "century in recap"-type story) and as 52 on October 18 of that same year (a column by Lew Freedman reflecting on his life following word of his death). I'm not finding a published obituary anywhere and other resources have been restricted in recent years, defaulting to the same old "privacy" boogeyman. As his father was Sidney Huntington, it's quite likely he wasn't born in Galena, as I don't believe they had moved there by that point.

An interesting quote from Freedman: "During the mid-1990s, I occasionally talked mushing with Huntington. He was concerned at the time that Native mushers living off the road system seemed to be priced out of the Iditarod.", which is an argument I've heard before. Various sources also refer to him as one of the best-known people in Alaska during the 1970s. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 04:58, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
