In Memoriam: Ann Hitchcock

CCA member Ann Hitchcock, who had a distinguished career in the National Park Service, died Dec. 10 at the age of 78. She was the first Chief Curator of the NPS and served in government for 44 years.

As her obituary notes, "She loved the outdoors and the National Parks from adolescence, and recreationally she maintained an intimate relationship with parklands, hiking, canoeing, and backpacking in remote areas, and cross-country skiing. Her friendships and collegial relationships reflected these passions and were life- and career-long."
