History bears this out. Who has made the biggest impacts?
Early trad guys- Hackworth, Souders
John for his guide books that have inspired all the guidebooks since.
Porter put us on the map
Shannon started the RRGCC
Dr Bob made it work
The RRGCC it self - herded the cats to a common purpose and end
Rick and Liz- Wow.. nuff said
Miguel created the space for the community and culture to develop
Ray for his guidebooks and for the bbs as a sounding board for the commutiy
