Although the Sierra Club has a great many of its own web pages I'm
proud to feature them here as well - they've saved a lot of wilderness
in addition to helping preserve the quality of life for all of us!

October '06 was a great Sierra Club month for me! In addition to hanging around with good activists, and fine friends, I was pleased to interview Executive Director Carl Pope for KGNU. ALSO, Tami and I took a fantastic trip through the United Kingdom and were able to visit the birthplace of Sierra Club founder John Muir in Dunbar, Scotland. These pictures, below, tell part of my October story:

Me and Carl Pope 		Interview With Carl Pope

When Carl Pope attended a Sierra Club fundraiser at Jarod Polis' place in Boulder on October 24th, Rachel Carson Group ExComm member and activist Roger Wendell snagged him for an interview at KGNU (88.5 FM Boulder, 1390 AM Denver), where Roger does a radio show. You can listen to an MP3 recording of the interview right here!

On April 29-30, 2005 I volunteered for Treasurer's training at the Sierra Club's national
headquarters in San Francisco - there were 41 "students" and nearly two dozen presenters!

It was great training but I'll have to admit that exploring San Francisco was a blast!

For the Record:

I formally joined the Sierra Club in 1988 but had actually tried to get some dues money together at age 14 in the late 60s.  Due to a variety of distractions I didn't get involved for another two decades but am glad I finally did. Here are some Club activities I've been directly involved in over the years:
