Some friends and I were there as volunteers on 10/16/70 — see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.

Per John Bush, Rich Braden ('employee2' here on the NGDF) has returned to Chama and is again working for the C&TS! SFAIK, Jeff Stebbins left for a while but has been around the past several years; hopefully he'll be working at least part-time as an engineer both this year and next.

See the second photo on [ngdiscussion.net], taken 09/07/70 — you may be in it!

IIRC, plans for next year are still being put together. Keep your eye on the NGDF, as I'm pretty sure suggestions for activities – and the adoption/refinement/rejection thereof – will appear here first
