Leading the pack: Former Northampton woman tracks twin passions of math, mushing

NORTHAMPTON - One thing Caitlin Santos missed in her Northampton upbringing was a dog. "I always thought I deserved one," she said, but her parents, John and Nancy Brady, didn't see things that way. She has made up for that big-time, breeding and training sled dogs in Cantwell, Alaska, with her husband for the past six years. And now Santos, 31, who has taught the past five years in the remote village's school, has been awarded a $150,000 fellowship from the Knowles Science Teaching Foundation of Moorestown, N.J.
