NO POP-UPS, NO SPYWARE, NO SPIN
(A different point-of-view)

Sportswriter and author of numerous opinion pieces appearing on several websites, Richard Linde (a.k.a., Malamute), finally has enough time to devote to his favorite pastime, the Washington Husky football program. Okay, he plays some golf too.

This is a website for Husky fans. It says for us that we are proud to be Huskies; it's our Husky tee-shirt, our Husky logo, our Husky bumper sticker. 

Husky fans are welcome to send us their contributions, and we will publish them, subject to editing. (We'll need a valid mailing address and phone number. Send them to malamute@4malamute.com).

Richard and his wife, Audrey, live near Temecula, California at Four Seasons Hemet. "We live on a golf curse, in a jaded community, with all the obscenities," Richard likes to joke. As captain of the Parry Bobcats, "Captain Rick" is the only member of the adult community ever injured playing Bocce ball.

A native of Seattle, Richard graduated from the University of Washington in 1960 with a Chemistry degree. Audrey's great grandfather was a member of the first board of regents at the University of Washington. Her parents met while working as writers for the "University of Washington Daily." Her grandfather, Frank Milton Osborn, was a reporter on the old Seattle Evening News.

Reporter Angelo Bruscas and columnist Ted Miller, both of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, along with reporter Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times and college football reporter Bob Flounders of the Harrisburg-Patriot News (Harrisburg, Pa.), are regular visitors to this site. Their comments are appreciated.

The right to express our opinion, without editorial or sponsoring influence, is the basis for our website slogan : "No Popups, No Spyware, No Spin.". Since its inception in April 2001, this site has had over 8 million hits, thanks mostly to the Internet search services and to websites and blogs that link to this site.

We would like to thank "Taft" of dawgman.com for linking to our articles. Also, we would like to thank Molly Yanity of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for allowing us to link to our articles from her blog.

In the words of Harvey Penick, Joe Pyne and Mills Lane (with a slight alteration): Take dead aim; straight ahead; let’s get it on, Huskies.

P.S.

Why? For the love of writing, I guess.
