It didn’t seem to me that Rich really hated the park. He opposed it at the start, like many locals; and he certainly didn’t want his home taken. And he liked to play gruff. But he was helpful & friendly toward me as a Park Ranger. One time I needed some heavy wire for a “beaver baffler” culvert I was installing, and he insisted on giving me a suitable piece of welding rod–no charge. Just wanted to help.
