Great Trail Builders |

Ted Rissell, John Saylor, and Nick Clulee are wonderful trail builders.
Ted, John, and Nick worked diligently for years on the AHTM trail board. They stayed the course and saw that the trail was built. These men have decided to "retire" from the board and are wished the best as they move to other challenging projects. They did not receive any accolades for their years of service, but a simple thank you from the many folks who enjoy what they helped make happen (the trail) does indeed mean a lot. So we say it here and ask others to say it directly to Ted, John, and Nick ---- THANK YOU!!!!!! |
