Friends,

  The six-geyser sweep sounds great, and I haven't any idea if I've ever
done it (living here, one gets to see those six often enough with any
effort). But my good friend Denise Herman, who works as an Interpretive
Ranger over at the Canyon Visitor Center, has a pretty impressive
one-geyser sweep of her own. She began her Yellowstone career as a
step-on tour guide for the concessioner in 1990, who would have been
either TW Services, Inc., or TW Recreational Services, Inc., in those
days. Anyway, that is the only year since 1988 that I was not
responsible for the training of the concessioner tour guides -- I was
the science teacher that spring at the US Embassy School in Moscow, in
the waning days of the USSR. My old friend Paul Shea took the new guides
out on their "Frolic Tour," the annual training tour around the Park.
The first geyser basin they visited was Norris, and Steamboat had a
major eruption while they were within a minute or two walk of it. It was
the first geyser Denise ever saw erupt in her life. She has seen it
erupt twice more since (she has worked for the NPS at Norris for some
summers), while I am still waiting to ever see that Big Kahuna. Cheers
from one of the Rabble,

Leslie Quinn
