Today, we pause to recognize three generations of Heaths and Palins
as husbands, fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers. The Heaths
and Palin families are the bedrock of Governor Sarah Palin's success. If
you want to make a marriage work, you will be hard-pressed to find
better models than Chuck and Sally Heath or Todd and Sarah Palin.
Chuck Heath
Devoted Husband, Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather. Living
Pioneer. Quintessential Alaskan. Science Teacher. Hunter. Fisherman.
He probably never knew that baby Sarah hefting these two shrimps...
...would 47 years later be a 2012 Presidential hopeful hefting a lobster on a bus tour of historic sites.
The phrase, "Don't retreat. Reload!" originated from Chuck Heath. She first referenced it in Going Rogue as the opening to Chapter 6, on p. 383, where he said, “Sarah’s not retreating! She’s reloading!”
Todd Palin
Devoted Husband, Father, Grandfather. Living Pioneer. Quintessential
Alaskan. 4-Time Iron Dog Champion. Hunter. Commercial Fisherman.
Roughneck. First Dude.
Macho enough to race a snow machine 120 mph in pitch blackness, but
not does not consider changing a diaper an affront to his
masculinity....
Brains...Brawn...Heart. Todd has the right balance of them all.
See Missy Stewart's Father's Day Tribute to Todd: Todd Palin — the “Good Dad”
Track Palin
Devoted Husband. Living Pioneer. Quintessential Alaskan. Hunter. Commercial Fisherman. Veteran.
On May 19, 2011, Track Palin married Britta Hanson.
He is an Army Reservist, will be studying at the University of Alaska,
and is taking over the Palin's commercial fishing business.
