Dear Martha, Laurie, Christine and family: When I first started my Park Service career, Norm was the chief ranger at Acadia and I was the Secretary to Keith Miller and then later, Lowell White. I have two kind stories about him. During the time I worked at Acadia, I dated an older man who I loved very much. We danced on Friday nights up at Hulls Cove; I don't recall the name of the place. On one occasion, you and Norm were there and Norm came over to me concerned about whether I should be dating Henry. It was as if Norm was my surrogate father and he was watching out for his daughter. Although we never married, Henry and I remained friends for many years. Much later in 1990, I had resigned from the NPS and had recently graduated from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, where I still live. I needed a summer job before moving to Tucson to attend law school, so I wrote Norm and asked if I could return for the summer, perhaps to work at Blackwoods CG. At 6:00 a.m. one morning, Norm had one of his supervisors call me and offer me a job, forgetting of course about the three-hour difference in time. Although I later decided to work at Grand Canyon that summer, I remember fondly that Norm didn't hesitate to bring me back noncompetitively after all those years. My best wishes to you and all of your family.
