Fantastic, and very well done. Now, to that person sitting on that video footage of her training in Resurrection Bay, get together with a documentary filmmaker, you too are sitting on Gold, but it on has a limited shelf-life. Don’t give it away or deal with local media affiliates.
Good advice.
Amazing!! Congrats Lydia! Alaska is proud!
Woohoo!
