RE: [Philmont]: Philmont will be Prepared

One of my former PHILMONT crew members (a College student) will again be
working at Philmont this summer.

Carl Armstrong will be leading RAYADO crews this summer. In 2002 Carl was a
Ranger. Carl called me last week to say he was leaving this week for New
Mexico.

WOW, what a compliment that was.
