In reply to: The Bebie Leadership Award Presented to AmericaÕs outstanding activist(s) for the cause of conserving climbing access and the climbing environment. Curt Shannon Curt is a founding member and dedicated spokesperson for the Friends of Queen Creek and is always available while balancing family life and a demanding day job. He has donated hundreds of hours of volunteer time including two trips to Washington, DC lobbying Congress on the Southeastern Arizona Land Exchange Act of 2005, organizing local activists in letter writing campaigns and political strategy, meeting with Resolution Copper Company as a local representative in negotiations for Oak Flat and Queen Creek access and much more than we can encapsulate here.
I know it's not what you were going for, but good for you anyway.

Curt, I don't know you, but I've seen that tumbler of liquor on these forums enough times to feel like I do.
Congrats.

Winning the AF Bebie award is both an honor and somewhat embarrassing. Any progress that has been made toward maintaining climbing access at Oak Flat / Queen Creek has resulted from the efforts of many individuals. I think that I have merely been the most visible guy. Anyway, thanks to all of you for your kind words.
Curt

Kudos from me too, Curt. In fact, you're getting to be such a big item, that I saw in another thread, they're gonna start naming routes after you.
