Bad Bob Baker, originator and long-term director of the Sonot Kkaazoot had successful surgery late Friday afternoon. Although originally scheduled to spend the night at Fairbanks Memorial Hospital, Bad Bob was home Friday night. When Kent Karns, his friend and former Lathrop High Schol XC Ski teammate called him, “Bob said he could beat me in a ski race any day including last night.”

I would be willing to bet on Bad Bob. While balancing on his non-surgical leg, Bad Bob could doublepole faster than Kent, who completed his first ski of the season on Saturday. Kent might still have a fighting chance to catch him on an uphill course.

Recover well, Bob!
