Does anyone want to take over admin of this page? I don't live in Athabasca anymore. Preference given to those affiliated with relevant organizations.

Well, the Centennial year is drawing to a close. Thanks to all for some great memories. I don't quite know what to do with the page. I imagine one leaves it for posterity. Is there any need to use it for more Athabasca activities? Would appreciate input.
