Cap Knight
Having been born and raised in the Philadelphia, Penna. area, I
was involved in teaching and coaching for 33 years. Working on the
middle school level for most of my career, I coached and taught
Paul McLarnon many years ago. Our friendship was rekindled in the
90's when I discovered that Paul was living in Alaska. Over the
next 10 years, Paul and I collaborated on some very creative, interactive
( Videoconferencing/ website) curriculum surrounding life in Alaska
and dog mushing.
In 2007, Paul invited me to do the 3 day shake down run. Although
I could not come back up north for the actual run in February of
that year, we agreed to make it happen again. And here we are!
I consider the curriculum development that Paul and I coordinated
to be a high point of my professional teaching experience. Now,
the opportunity to actually travel the Serum Run with a group of
talented mushers and snow machiners is almost too good to be true!
I am married with two adult, married sons, and one new granddaughter!
My interests include sailing, windsurfing, winemaking, PSU football
and travelling. I currently tutor college students ( part time
) at a local College. |
