As one who remembers the mess that the first RGRPC operating company inherited when the commission kicked out the old operator I am thrilled you can go back to Chama and have a good time now John. You guys stuck your necks (and wallets) into the noose and did your best to keep the CATS running at a really bad time. It seemed like you, Dick, Terri, and John Craft caught hell on the internet for your efforts . I am glad that the bad times are over, and we got through the storm in part to the RGRPCs efforts. Thanks!
