Our National Parks

Men's coffee at 10:30 this morning here at Bookdale. Participants were (l-r) Alan, Larry, Tony, Dennis, William, Marvin and Carl. This was the first meeting for Dennis, a retired Seward County, Extension Service Agent who lives near by with his wife. It was the first time some of the "old timers" had met him. He and his wife have both retired a few years ago and have been working for the National Park Service during the summers as Volunteer Campground Directors. They are furnished a camp site with utilities but receive no reimbursement. They spent this past summer in Maine at the "Acadia National Park". They actually each log some 50 hours/week but still have time to visit local areas of interest. This past summer that included a summer home of President and Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Eleanor. Dennis made a most enjoyable presentation of their experience in a number of National and State Parks.
