Open questions

  • Which six public trails did the April 15, 1991 Chamber meeting discuss by name?
  • Did the planned April 26, 1991 Blue Trail walk with Dick Smith and Larry Robinson take place, and what did the committee report afterward?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
