Park News: Welcome Patricia Trap
|
|
|
|
|
The National Park Service Regional Director Bert Frost has announced that Patricia Trap will be serving as acting superintendent at Mount Rushmore National Memorial. She assumed her temporary position on January 6, 2020.
Trap is deputy regional director, overseeing 61 parks throughout the region for the past eight years, and she will continue as acting superintendent until the position is permanently filled. This change comes after Denice Swanke returned to Denali National Park in Alaska. Swanke served as acting superintendent for four months following the retirement of long-time Superintendent Cheryl Schreier.

A South Dakota native, she grew up in Hill City and now lives closer to the Rapid City Regional Airport with her husband, Cache.

- We celebrate President's Day in February because of two famous birthdays: Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, and George Washington was born on February 22, 1732. But did you know that there are actually four presidential birthdays in February? President William Henry Harrison was born on February 9, and President Ronald Reagan was born on February 6. Happy Birthday to all!
