Description	BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: Frank Wright, Tad Nichols, Katie Lee, and Marty Koehler spent 12 days boating through Glen Canyon from early to mid-September in 1957. Some notable items in Tad's diary from this trip are mention of 'good jasper and flint in the gravels' at Hall's Crossing; and a description of their water play in the falls at Lake Canyon, where 'Kay and I slid down the rock slide-- a wonderful chute-the-chutes.' He also writes about a moonlight hike in Hidden Passage-- 'A grand experience: Coming out of the canyon to the river, the moonlight burst upon us as daylight-- or so it seemed.' In a 1997 interview with Tad about this trip, he states that Katie requested many photographs be taken of her, in a variety of poses in different settings. He obliged-- even when it involved baby oil and cattail fuzz! [Those particular images have not been digitized, but are available for viewing in Cline Library's Special Collections and Archives Department.]
