GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS An Administrative History

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Two people deserve special recognition and thanks for their parts in this work. The project could not have been accomplished without the help of Bobby L. Crisman, Management Assistant for Guadalupe Mountains National Park. His willingness to share his voluminous personal files and his excellent memory made it possible to retrieve much information that was unavailable elsewhere. Melody Webb's patient editorial work and her demand for conciseness helped to produce a more readable final project. Many other people at the park, at the headquarters in Carlsbad, and at the Regional Office, gave freely of their time and knowledge during the research phase of the project. Each of them has my sincere thanks.
