A.A.C. in Denver

Publication Year: 1949.

A.A.C. in Denver. On 5 May 1949 the Colorado members of the A.A.C., with guests from the Colorado Mountain Club, gathered for dinner at the University Club in Denver, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wood, who stopped off for a day on their way to Alaska. Those who had long looked forward to showing the West to the Woods, and the Woods to the West, found themselves far more successful in the latter undertaking, for a heavy rain fell all day and not a mountain was to be seen. Forty people attended the dinner and enjoyed “Operation Snow Cornice,” the film of the Wood expedition to Alaska in 1948.

The Colorado Section of the A.A.C. is not organized in any formal sense; it has no fixed schedule of meetings, no dues, no official projects. The 30 members, however, are a congenial group and often meet informally. Many of them are closely involved in the affairs of the Colorado Mountain Club, of which Henry Buchtel is president and Evelyn Runnette secretary. A project in which our own members are taking an active interest is the new C.M.C. guidebook to the Colorado Rockies.
