"I
enjoyed the job of visiting with people and Lon Garrison [first
superintendent] did too. Every other week he would say, 'Bob, I'm
going to meet you at Old Faithful or Canyon.' As we were riding
through the campgrounds or around Old Faithful busy with people, he
looked at me and said, 'You've got the best job in the park'
and I agreed with him."

streets.

took place in the nation's capital. An estimated 200,000 participants
