Our newest guest blogger is Clay Cunningham who is retired from the National Park Service where his long career included roles in law enforcement, research biology and as a Park Superintendent.
Most notably, Clay served as Park Superintendent of Denali National Park and Preserve (AK). Over the years he also worked at Yellowstone (Madison sub-district ranger), Theodore Roosevelt (ND), North Cascades (WA), Gateway National Recreation Area (NY/NJ), Southern AZ Group Parks. He retired from the Park Service in 1994 and now lives in Cody, Wyoming.
Author of two books, Yellowstone to Denali and The Christmas Drink, Clay has been a university instructor and has lectured at Washington University, Alaska University and Arizona State University. He has a graduate degree in wildlife natural history.
And Clay says he has been “a fly tier for, good grief, 68 years”.
We welcome Clay to the JS Blog.
Welcome aboard. Looking forward to some of the inside scoop on the NPS and Yellowstone.
A hearty welcome Clay! Your experience will be great to tap into here; by all means wax eloquent on any and all you have to offer…we’ll eat it up.
