The good and the bad




          Good evening, 919 Gang. Remember the Wild Animal Park? It has a new name, but that hasn’t diminished the park’s appeal. I had occasion to check out the web site today, and I was really impressed. Lots of videos and a selection of live cams.

          Veterans and retired military can obtain a pass allowing them free access to all National Park sites -- with proper identification, such as membership in a veterans organization, V.A. card, etc.

          REBER: I led off praising one web site. I certainly can’t applaud the web sites which talk about National Park passes. I put in some time, but I could not find a site which verified Len’s report. I’m not doubting Len, I’m just saying some people don’t know how to organize their information and make it easy to find.
          For instance, one site says permanently disabled people can get free lifetime passes and veterans with a service-connected disability can get lifetime passes.
          I also read that free annual passes are available for current U.S. military members and their dependents, fourth-grade students and people who log 250 volunteer hours (presumably at a national park, although it doesn’t spell that out).
          I saw one web site which says there is no pass for veterans.
