My area is history of the Park. I specifically know women`s history of the Park. Mattie Culver is who I know most about plus those working at the Firehole Hotel (sometimes called Marshall`s Place.) I am a researcher and can find answers from various sources if need be.

My greatest passion in the natural world is Yellowstone National Park. I have been going there regularly since I was 2 (that was in 1953). I make a minimum of two trips a year there, and have visited in both the summer and winter. My area of real joy is studying and observing the geysers, primarily in the upper geyser basin near Old Faithful. I belong to a group called GOSA (the Geyser Observation and Study Association) which has around 300 members. I have also acquired a passion for park history, much of it`s geology, I marvel every year at the wonderful canyon and experience such peace on the shores of Lake Yellowstone. I do love this park and if I can help make a families time there more fun and a greater learning experience I would love to do that.

Any questions related to the logistics of planning a trip to the Greater Yellowstone area including hotels, guides and areas of interest. I can also provide information about living and working in Yellowstone since I grew up there and spent many summers working through college. Lastly, I am happy to provide information about non-profit organizations if you are interested in helping the park.
