| Lay, Stephen. Meet Legend Dog Musher Jack Beckstrom. http://xtradog.com/dogucation-education-zone/sled-dog-zone/jack-beckstrom.html "In the mid-1970s the Beckstroms moved to Montana for the better snow conditions and to be near their friends and mushing mentors Lee and Mel Fishback. The Fishbacks, former Californians, owned a small sled manufacturing and musher supply company. Shortly after the Beckstroms' arrival in Montana, Lee Fishback died of a heart attack while running his dogs. Within a short time, Jack started making sleds to serve Fishback's customers. Mel continued making the Zima brand of harnesses until 1983 . . .." Körner, Miriam. Beginners: Training Lead Dogs Lee Fishback's Way: 1 Nov 2007, in Mushing: The Magazine of Dog-Powered Adventure. http://www.mushing.com/articles/content.php?vw=3,0,0,1875 " Training Lead Dogs My Way was originally published in 1974 by Lee and his wife Mel. Later versions of the book were published throughout the 70’s and 80’s by TUN-DRA with the title “Training Lead Dogs or How to turn ordinary dogs into Lead Dogs thru positive training”. Fishback enjoyed the challenge of training dogs that others thought would be unlikely. He could be found on the trail running a German Shepherd cross and one of his last successful leaders was a purebred Samoyed." Cowan, Nancy. Obituary: Cindy Molburg, 1927 - 2013. http://www.sleddogcentral.com/obituaries/molburg_cindy.htm "At a race in Quebec, the Molburgs became friends with Lee and Mel Fishback who had begun Team & Trail in 1963. Cindy had some newspaper experience having worked first as a proofreader and then as a reporter for local papers. Mel asked Cindy to become the Eastern Editor for the sled dog newspaper, and in 1966, Cindy became Publisher/Editor." Fishback, Mel. Training Lead Dogs. Riley, Mel Fishback.
