coaches and fans. It
was amazing.
I also refereed

Nation and local
community.
Additionally, I refereed at the Gold Medal Tournament in Juneau, Alaska, on
March 20-26. The tournament included Native teams from local villages competing
against one another for the championship.
I was able to bring my aunt, Ilene DePoe Somes, with me to enjoy all the action.
Thank you for joining me.
