All day: Oral Histories
RMC alumni caretakers Steve Chase and Sally Manikian will be
on hand at the Randolph Pavilion, adjacent to the Ravine House
Pool, collecting oral histories from attending alumni. The project

this three day period. National historians from the USDA Forest
Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will assist in conducting
formal oral history interviews. Both single and group interviews
will take place. Further information will be coming, later. Please

grand experiences that we all had while working for the RMC be
lost.
