I have a new granddaughter, Noa, now 21 months, who is, of course, brilliant and beautiful, walking and talking up a storm, and absolutely terrific, except that she lives in St. Louis, which means a long slog every couple of months when the overwhelming need to “see that little girl” hits us. Amazing and wonderful.

I am also quite excited to be a founder and now Project Coordinator of a new startup non-profit park support organization that serves the western National Parks: The Fund For People In Parks, www.peopleinparks.org.
