Questions regarding history of Grand Canyon runners

Questions regarding history of Grand Canyon runners

Why was Norman Nevilles running rivers in 1942?  Why wasn't he serving in WW 2?

Also, does anyone know what Buzz Holmstrum father died of?

Hi Den, Norm was 34 in 1943 and had a wife and two small kids at the time. He took a job for the USGS operating the San Juan stage gauge at Mexican Hat in 43-44 for a little while to help the war effort. He was not drafted. Other folks on this list may have better details.

Don't know about Buzz's dad. That's a Brad question.

Best to you all, tom
Thanks Tom,

I hope to one day see the GEM in person

All the best Den in NH
Buzz's dad died of heart failure.
