Igloo Pak's Wing-A
Uddrag af intervieu af Doc Lombard, udført af Robert Herold, publiceret i Siberian World i slutningen af 70'erne følger.
"Wing's far hedder Posey's Williwah og moren Holly of Calivali. Lombard fik ham som parringsvalp af Ann Wing, deraf navnet. På grund af at Doc ikke kunne huske om han havde kaldt en anden hund Wing , kaldte han den Igloo Pak's Wing-A, '65."
"I slutningen af 60'erne og begyndelsen af 70'erne var Wing-A en sikker hund på løbs-spannet. Et kig i resultatlisterne fortæller, at i de år vandt Lombard, VM i Anckorage fem gange og North American en gang."
"I de 8 år anvendtes Wing mere og mere som avlshund."
"Det var Koonah's Spice som kom ind i billedet. Kombinationen Igloo Pak's Wing-A x Koonah's Spice blev en fuldtræffer. Wing parrede Spice fire gange og Lombard fik den type Siberian Husky han søgte."

In a letter to a norwegian Roger Engvik, Doc Lombard tell about Wing-A:
"Wing was on my raceing team in Alaska for many years and helped win many Championships. Wing has sired all of my present Siberians, also many of my siberian-alaskan dogs. Out of 32 dogs in training in 1977, he has sired 18 of them."
"He is 12 years old this month. Hes grandsire Tok was considered by many who know him to be the best working Siberian of modern times."
