Wow. Marker and I worked with Megan on her story back during GCSP in
June. Megan sat in the front row of the theater for Marker's Starry Starry
Nights Over The Grand Canyon, and in my brief time with Megan she asked very
pointed, adeptly formed questions.
Dr. Alan Delman from Tumacacori was the guide for the night tour mentioned
in the article; he or I did many of the three nightly tours. The amazing
thing is that he was recovering from a pretty traumatic replacement of a
previous hip replacement event that shattered his femur only four months
before; he was quite a trooper to do those tours.
The article said a majority of the volunteers are from Tucson, but that is
incorrect. Tucson provides about 25%; about 65% are from Phoenix, Kingman,
Sedona, Flagstaff, and Prescott, and points in between. The other 10%
usually show up from Nevada, California, Texas, and Florida.

You'e welcome, I still haven't gotten over the shock of seeing all this on
the front page of the paper. Very validating and about time this had some
recognition.
