Fan Hitch Contributor Nominated
for Writing Award
The Fan Hitch is delighted to announce that "The
Return" by David Matthews has been nominated by a
panel of judges in the category "National Club:
newsletter: feature article" in the 2003 annual Dog
Writers' Association of America (DWAA) writing
competition. The winner (there were three nominees) will
be announced at the DWAA Awards Banquet to be held on
February 8th, 2004, in New York City. The results will be
reported in the next issue of The Fan Hitch.
David's beautifully written story is a stirring account
of the disappearance and return of a senior sled dog
during a dangerous trip back to an Antarctic base after
many months in the field. It was published in Volume 5,
number 2, March 2003 of The Fan Hitch.
This is the second time that a feature written for The
Fan Hitch by a British Antarctic Survey veteran has
been nominated for a DWAA award.
Our hearty congratulations go out to David, who lives in
Scotland.
