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 former governor, oil and gas regulator, mayor; two-time author, Fox News contributor, documentary producer, and private citizen leader hefting a lobster on a bus tour of historic sites. Now, one year later, she has proven time and time again that you don’t need a title to make a difference.
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. The couple welcomed their daughter Kyla Grace Palin to the world in August, 2011. He is an Army Reservist, holding the rank of Sergeant, will be studying at the University of Alaska, and is taking over the Palin’s commercial fishing business.
