In 1992, I visited the Davis Monsan Air Force Base with Mr.Steve Kopito to gather material. I could not have done this job without him. I also appreciate Mr.Marv Spector because he loaned us his Toyota Land-Cruiser 70 for this trip. The height of his car's roof gave me a perfect angle for taking pictures.
Possibly you feel that the picture quality is not good on these pages. But, please understand this is only the way to protect my Copyright. Also, such big files kills your time for downloading and I know nobody wants to waste money on the telephone company.
One surfer emailed to ask "what is that picture
that of a red square on the front page?".
Answer : It is top of a dog's nose top stuck out from hole in the box on the truck. This
is photo is a dog transportation truck. Mushers use trucks similar to this. Dogs are in
the box for transportation to the race site. They like the hole to breath and feel the air
outside. This truck is Mr.Keizo Funatsu's. He uses handmade boxes with a Ford F-250 4x4
pickup. If you see a truck like this, the owner must be a dog musher. (by News Paper Bear)
