Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2015
Time: Meet 5-10 minutes early so we can

Dick Thurnau was a longtime advocate of the community and the park, even going so far as to petition (successfully) the United States Board on Geographic Names to correct the name of the lake from Lake Hicks to Lake Hicklin.
