We had 28 people attend Denver area luncheon on April 23 at Cafe Jordano. GMUG Forest Supervisor, Chad Stewart, was Acting Deputy Regional Forester at the time and updated us on regional agency issues. Here are a couple of pictures from the event.

The Denver area retiree luncheon was Tuesday, January 23 at Jose O’Shea’s in Lakewood, CO. About 33 people attended. The luncheons provide a good opportunity to get together and socialize. Unfortunately, no one from the RO was able to make it so there is no regional information to share. Tom Thompson shared information on the Forest Service National Museum and the Memorial Grove. I share information on upcoming Rocky Mountaineer trips.

R2 Ranger Roll Call

We are very pleased to share with you the Museum’s Ranger Roll Call Interim Report & Challenge for Region 2 (click). The report includes the names of the rangers since 1905 (sometimes earlier) for these eight national forest/grassland units: Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland; Bighorn National Forest; Black Hills National Forest; Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests; Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland; Nebraska National Forest and Grasslands; Pike and San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands; and the White River National Forest. This would not have been possible without the invaluable assistance provided by Museum volunteers (many USFS R-2 retirees), some of you personally, and many of your employees. These individuals are recognized on page 3 of the report.

We welcome your review of the report for any additions or corrections to the ranger records. Further, we would appreciate your assistance with creating supervisor lists for these same units and with creating both ranger and supervisor lists for the Rio Grande, and San Juan.
