it Was a Group of reLativeLy younG <strong>Guides</strong>, fuLL of<br />
enthusiasm and love for the <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Canyon</strong>. Jay set an<br />
example for excellent but not overly-intrusive leadership,<br />
by setting a thought-out but flexible agenda each<br />
day, adapting to changing weather conditions, and<br />
giving opportunities for everyone (guides and speakers)<br />
to participate at their level of interest or ability. He<br />
tended to show up where needed, and to stand back<br />
when things were going well on their own.<br />
<strong>Guides</strong> were full of curiosity about the <strong>Canyon</strong>,<br />
the inner workings of the National Park Service, and<br />
about how other guides handled rapids, guest situations<br />
and even meal preparation!<br />
The weather tested everyone’s positive attitude, and<br />
everyone was up to the test.<br />
Thanks again for allowing me to participate, Lynn.<br />
I learned a lot, and I look forward to seeing everyone<br />
back out on the river.<br />
