KATIE
TONGUE - MUSHER
My husband
John Bramante and I moved to Alaska in 1993. We live in Kasilof
with our three children, Juliet (9), Elena Macrae (7), and Katharine
(2), and our 27 dogs.
John's a doc; I do a little of this and a little of that, but
the Mama thing takes up most of my time. I keep the books at the
office. We play and coach soccer when we can - I coached the local
high-school girls for many years. ... Did I mention that we have
3 kids?
I have roots in Oklahoma and Maine, spent a few years in China
and Taiwan, taught French and English for a time. It seems long
ago, but I do remember smiling my way through most of it, which
is a bit of a blessing.
We got involved with sleddogs when our friend Gus left his team
in our yard while he headed out commercial fishing in '95. I've
done a few mid-distance races but have mostly been the chief training
run technician. I hung out with the kids while John and Gus did
the racing. I really enjoy getting out with the dogs on the trails
we have around the hills here at home. I'm looking forward to
seeing another part of Alaska on the Serum Run. Having sent John
and Gus and the dogs off on a few Iditarods, it'll be nice to
be the one heading off on the back of the sled for a change.
Thanks to all the coordinators and volunteers and to Colonel Vaughn.
