 New USPS Alaska stamp to sport DeeDee & her team. It's the year for Alaska recognition, and a USPS stamp is no exception. Teamed together with Alaska Stock Images and the perfect shot of Iditarod musher, DeeDee Jonrowe slipping through Rainy Pass during the "Last Great Race"™ the Iditarod, a stamp was born.

"We found out today that the new Alaska stamp will be unveiled at the
Alaska State chamber Annual fall conference gathering in Fairbanks on
Wednesday night. I'm honored and blessed that one of my photos was chosen to represent
Alaska Statehood on a U.S. postage stamp. I'm just plain ecstatic that
it's this particular photo, because it's one of my all-time favorite
photos from the Iditarod---DeeDee Jonrowe mushing in the Rainy Pass
area at dusk with alpenglow on the Alaska Range. For me, it was one of
those magical moments where everything came together to complete my
idea of what the Iditarod is. I couldn't be more pleased." says Jeff
Schultz, from Alaska Stock Images.
When we asked DeeDee how she felt
about this new stamp, she said "It is humbling to be part of the image
chosen to represent Alaska as the U.S. postage service recognizes our
beautiful stste's 50th birthday. I have been blessed to live my dreams
for over a quater of a century combining my love of my dogs, my passion
for this beautiful state, and to experience adventure beyond my wildest
imagination. Thanks to Jeff Schultz's god-given tallent for capturing
that on film, I now have the honor to celebrate this thru this stamp".
