Nancy Brian and Lauren Lucas need to be recognized for
their ability to cope with a variety of bureaucratic,
technical, and logistical problems. As the only true
staff of the GCES, these two people have excelled
and shown abilities to coordinate and withstand
the pressures of the GCES program and, far worse, the
demands of a cramped office and a workaholic
supervisor~ Thanks.

OVer the course of the GCES, additional people have
provided the bureaucratic support and guidance
necessary to accomplish our goals. Cliff Barrett,
BOR's Upper Colorado Regional Director; Wayne Cook
(BOR); Harold Sersland (BOR); Bill Rinne (BOR);
Richard Marks, Grand Canyon superintendent (NPS);
John Thomas (former NPS); Martha Hahn (NPS); steve
Hodapp (NPS); Jim deVos (AGF); Bob MacNish (USGS);
and Frank Baucom (FWS). Tom Gamble (BOR) and Dick
White (BOR) of Glen Canyon Dam provided flow
information, help, and support often when it was the
unpopular thing to do. Thank you.

Intellectual, moral, and logistical support for the
project and the continual push for excellence came from
a wide variety of sources. Intellectual stimulation,
striving for excellence, and belief in the effort came
from Susan Kieffer, Steve Carothers, and patricia Port.
Sue provided the GCES a home when we needed one and was
continually there to offer input on how to deal with
the scientific and interpretation problems. steve
provided us with the historical perspective and
importance of what we were striving toward. Dealing
with the mUltiple Interior agencies involved in the
GCES has definitely been a "learning" experience, an
experience more often dealing with frustration than
action. Patricia Port (USDI) has played a very
significant role in helping unravel the logic behind
agency positions and has always had a helpful
suggestion or word of encouragement when needed.
Thanks. Logisitical support during the course of the
GCES was coordinated through many of the
concessionaires in the river community, but was the
primary responsibility of Humphrey summit
Associates, Arizona River Runners, and Sleight
Expeditions. An assortment of professional boatmen
provided the support and field help necessary to
accomplish the data collection effort. No amount of
thanks can cover the hours and. effort that they
provided to the Studies.
