HB 44-JOE REDINGTON SR. MEMORIAL TRAIL
MR. EDDIE GRASSER, staff to Representative Beverly Masek, said that
Representative Masek introduced HB 44 to recognize a true Alaskan
hero, Joe Redington, Sr. Joe Redington was a legend who played a
huge part in starting the Iditarod Sled Dog Race, which brought
Alaska worldwide recognition. The Iditarod Sled Dog Race is
uniquely Alaskan, and Representative Masek feels that further
recognition of Mr. Redington would be appropriate. The designation
of the Knik-Goose Bay Road would start in Wasilla and go just past
the Redington homestead. The sign would sit where Joe and Vi
Redington lived and where the family still lives. HB 44 passed the
house unanimously and Representative Masek would appreciate the
support of the Senate.
SENATOR WARD moved CSHB 44 (TRA) out of committee with individual
recommendations. There being no objection, CSHB 44 (TRA) moved out
of committee.
