| I've been hiking
and mountaineering in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks ever since I
first came to the Sierra in 1965 as a 12 year-old boy scout. More than any
other place I've lived, I've always considered the parks to be my home. After discovering the remains of Glenn Munn in August, 2007 I became deeply involved in trying to understand what caused the crash of the Beech 18 AT-7 that killed him and three others in November, 1942. These four men were not movers and shakers or shapers of history - they were regular folks: the people who fight wars, make sacrifices, and return home to resume lives disjointed by conflict. I feel it is fitting that their story be told.
