...late wife Eva Menen, went to Kamrava in the early 1990s for infertility treatment. (Menen died of an unrelated illness in 1998.)

However, he had a 10% success rate versus a nationwide average of 39% for procedures resulting in live births. John Scodras, an embryologist who worked as lab director for Kamrava from 1993 to 1995, says when he joined the practice...
...Success in the race has minted heroes out of many ordinary Alaskans. Among the giants of the Iditarod are five-time champion Rick Swenson; families like the Redington, Seavey and Mackey clans, who have captured multiple championships and together have placed an entrant in every race since the event's inception; and four-time winners Susan Butcher and Martin Buser, who owns the record for the event's fastest recorded time (8 days, 22 hrs. and 46 mins).
