84) SUPPORTING STATEMENT OF SIERRA NATURE NOTES

a section of  the Yosemite Association website supporting the formal naming of Sharsmith Peak posted this note circa May 2006: "A proposal to name a peak in Yosemite in honor of ranger-naturalist and botanist Dr. Carl Sharsmith has been gathering momentum for several years and needs your support to make it happen. For over 60 years (1931 to 1994) Carl was a ranger in Yosemite, working mostly from Tuolumne Meadows. He has inspired thousands of visitors, scientists and rangers to appreciate the complexity and wonder of the Sierra. Many Yosemite locals have long called Peak 12,002..., along the Sierra Crest and just north of Tioga Pass, Sharsmith Peak. A group proposes to go before the USGS Board of Geographic Names (BGN) and make that official. For more information and to send in your own statement of support, go to www.name4carl.org/default.htm."
