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 />
