Grand Canyon Historical Society |
2002 Hall of Fame Award for Community Service
|
The Grand Canyon Pioneer Society and the National Park Service also inducted two people into the Grand Canyon Hall of Fame for Community Service. Eladio (Eli) Gomez and D. Louis Schellbach were this years inductees.
The fifth award names two individuals who have shown exemplary service to the Grand Canyon Community. Both recipients have made personal contributions of money, time, and work over a period of many years. One recipient is deceased and happily the other is still with us. Both of these folks were recommended for their community service by previous recipients of the award. We rely on their recommendations as they know better than anyone who has been involved in community service at the Grand Canyon.
Note: Mr. Gomez was unable to attend the picnic as he is currently residing in Washington state and is of advanced years (95). We will send the plaque to Mr. Gomez.
