Thank you for this opportunity to serve you. The following is a bit of my past history with this great organization. Going a ways back… I helped Charlie Morgan put on one of the first Rendezvous and have helped organize several over the past years. I was accepted into the first Wilderness Rider class in ’96, served as VP of Education under Larry DiFani and later served the state for many years as State Education Chair. I retired a few times and then went back, so really I don’t know exactly how long my stint was. I became a Master of LNT in ’97 at Ninemile Remount Station and worked towards our goal of BCHC holding the contract. I was also an instructor at Ninemile and have taught BCHC Wilderness Rider courses and then Master courses. I am happy to work with my co-chair who has similar goals and is a great individual. BCHC’s Education Program has followed the wilderness principles outlined with the national acceptance of LNT and we are proud of our leadership and representation of those principles. My goal is to always keep improving BCHC’s] education that exists and to keep our eyes and hearts open to new challenges.
