Dear Editor

I just read your story (Big Miracle brings back memories in the Feb. 9 Star-Observer) on Rick Skluzacek and Greg Ferrian when they brought their bubblers to Barrow during the great graywhale rescue.

I am the author and photographer of “Gift of the Whale: The Iñupiat Bowhead Hunt - A Sacred Tradition” and I covered the rescue from beginning to end and got the exclusive of the night that Rick and Greg came to the rescue.

In conjunction with the movie’s release, I am blogging the entire rescue as I witnessed it.

I just posted the segment on Rick and Greg: http://www.logbookwasilla.com/logbookwasilla/2012/2/9/the-movie-big-miracle-and-what-i-witnessed-in-real-life-part.html Please feel free to share it.
