he Grand Canyon Private Boaters Association is honored to be able
to invite you to an evening with private river runner Vernon ³Brick²
Mortenson. Boat builder and aircraft tool designer, Brick first
ran the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon in 1955 on a private
trip as a boatman for P.T. ³Pat² Reilly and his passenger was first
time river runner Martin Litton. Brick returned to run the Grand
Canyon in ¹57 and ¹58, the last years of high water before Glen
Canyon Dam. Brick¹s last run down the river was in 1962, the year
before the flood gates of Glen Canyon Dam were to close. Brick will
be showing a video he made of the ¹55, ¹56 and ¹57 river trips.
The high water shots are fantastic! Brick will also have free copies
of his river logs available. This event, sponsored by the Grand
Canyon Private Boaters Association, will be at Cline Library on
the campus of Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ, on October
8, 1999 at 7:00 p.m.. A donation of $5 to support the gcpba will
be accepted at the door. We hope to see you all there for this high
water showing!
