Dr. Larry Nash and granddaughter building a trail bridge
Dr. Larry Nash has been a pivotal volunteer with the Jefferson County Trails Council for many years. A fearsome worker, Larry likes to get an early start and work until dark. His talents run the range from supplying tools and materials: generators, drill bits, extension cords, and electric cutting shears, to bridge building, to having his granddaughter work on bridge building, to clearing downed trees on our walking trails, to building earthen erosion control, to helping obtain easements, to working his brush mower in tough-to-reach areas, to encouraging friends and family to donate to the trail project, to installing artwork on the bridges, to helping pour concrete, to pounding in sign posts, and on and on.
Larry and Janet Nash recently celebrated their 50th Wedding Anniversary with a bike tour in the hills and valleys of Switzerland. In addition, Larry is an avid hunter and frequently makes the trip to Monroe County where he maintains a nice farmstead. Larry is active in Rotary and Habitat for Humanity. We miss him in the winter when he and Janet travel to a warmer climate, but thankfully for us he returns in the spring when the land is reawakening and the trail building is beginning anew.
