PIPE SPRING Cultures at a Crossroads: An Administrative History

Off-site Programs

Very few off-site programs were given by monument staff in the early 1970s. Referred to as Environmental Education Programs, one a year was offered in 1973, 1974, and 1975. In 1974 and 1975, Joe Bolander presented programs at the Hurricane High School. In 1976 a lecture was given in Kanab and in Salt Lake City, presumably by Tracy; Tracy taped one lecture for use by a California group. That year Dale Scheier presented three slide shows on the wagon trek to groups and Mel Heaton gave a slide presentation to a group of boy scouts. During 1977, monument personnel gave four off-site programs. In 1978 Scheier gave three off-site presentations to the Moccasin community, the Kanab Stake Senior Citizens, and one youth group. Mel Heaton gave four programs that year, one each to the Fredonia History Awareness Group, the University of Wisconsin, the Meeks family reunion group, and a boy scout troop. Both Scheier and Heaton spoke about the wagon trek and Arizona Strip history. In 1979 monument staff gave five off-site programs.
