Randy Hedgepath: Tennessee State Naturalist
Randy Hedgepath attended the recent Friends board meeting
and advised his appointment as State Naturalist as
replacement for past Friends board member Mack Prichard.
I don't think it is possible for anyone to "fill Mack's
shoes", but I can't think of a better person to bring new
and different ideas to helping us all understand the
ecology, history and culture of our wonderful State of
Tennessee. I have known Randy for a long time, since
he was a Ranger here at South Cumberland. Good man he
is. Congratulations, Randy.
Rescue A Former Friends Board Member?
I talked on the cell phone with Mack Prichard this morning
on his way to a family gathering in Chattanooga. He is
driving his old gold colored Mercedes diesel station wagon
and reported he must have something in the fuel line or
filter because the car is missing and chugging going up
hills. He was on his way up to Monteagle and said if
he didn't make it, he would call me to come get him.
So far no call, so I guess he is still rolling. But,
if you see an old gold colored Mercedes station wagon
sitting along the roadside somewhere, you should stop and
check. It could be the best friend Tennessee State
Parks has ever had.
Friends' Website Rework
Check out the changes to
www.friendsofscsra.org We have been doing a little
redesign to make the website easier to navigate and to
create a navigation structure that will make it easy to add
new pages. Feedback and recommendations appreciated to
info@roncastle.com, thanks.
We are always looking for new content, photos, stories,
information for the Friends BLOG. Contributions
welcome, thanks.
Best wishes to you and your family for a peaceful
Thanksgiving holiday. I am thankful for South
Cumberland and all of you who love and support the Park.
Cheers,
Ron Castle
