Rich Gnagy
Active in the DPS: 1958-2005
Active in DPS SPS RCS Ski Mountaineers
A former chair of the Ski Mountaineers Rich's leadership role in that group and in the SPS and the RCS was curtailed when he moved from Angeles Chapter to the Sacramento area. That distance however didn't deter him from continuing to participate in SPS climbs and to complete the SPS and DPS lists. In May 2000 Rich became the 1 0 person to earn an HPS emblem showing that he remains committed to long drives.-Jerry Keating
