Description	BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: In early July of 1952, the Nevills family and friends gathered at Navajo Bridge in Marble Canyon for the dedication of a plaque in memory of Norm and Doris Nevills, who both died in a plane crash in September of 1949. Several friends attended the memorial ceremony after a 'Dedication Trip' through Glen Canyon, from Hite Ferry to Lees Ferry, July 1 to July 10, 1952. This river trip included not only three regular boats, but also one Folbot kayak, in which several of the boatmen and passengers took turns. 'Folboting is fun--but hard work in turbulent water or wind,' writes Nichols. Two of the significant hikes during this trip were through Forbidding Canyon and Bridge Canyon to Rainbow Bridge (where Tad was 'number 7985' in the register), and also up Lake Canyon to the cliff-dwellings located there. Tad records that the cliff house had 'interesting wall structure with decoration pattern formed with potsherds and finger marks.'
