Fannie White

Have you seen this picture of Jim White and his wife Fannie? She is the

woman to his left. Jim White died in 1946 so this picture must be around

that time. She later remarried a man named Barron.

Today she is laid to rest along side Jim in the Carlsbad Cemetery on Boyd

Avenue.

It must have been very sad for her to see Jim put so much effort into the

exploration of the cave, the work to make it accessible, and the promotion

of it and to see his contributions marginalized due to other circumstances.

Do You Remember if Jim White, Jr. had a son?

Does anyone remember a ceremony at the Natural Entrance
(around 10+ years ago) amphitheater during which a grandson
of Jim White was honored with a commemorative plaque?

A friend (and former co-employee) remembers something to this
effect, but isn't sure of when or the the full details. I have a partial
memory of such an event, but my details are skimpy at  best.

I realize now that I am not sure if Jim White, Jr. had a second
wife or just just married once. I knew Marguerite White who
was either his only wife or his second wife. Another faint
recollection I  have is that he and Marguerite were married
60+ years so they certainly may have had children, right?

Do you know if Jim Jr.had a son (a grandson to Jim, Sr.)
I will check at the The Family History Center here in town
soon to see what they know?

Thanks.

7/85 - 11/89--Carlsbad Caverns tenure

(from Enployee Reunion, 1998)

As an 11-year old visiting the Caverns on a family vacation in 1967, I never dreamed that some day I would be a park ranger caring for and sharing the beauties of the deep with visitors.  As an interpretive park ranger one of my favorite challenges was to learn as much about the cave as possible so that no matter where I was along the trail, I would be able to share some knowledge about a particular formation, fossil, or fantastic tale about cave exploration with visitors.  This desire to learn and share soon found me coaching other park rangers while in the role of assistant crew supervisor for the last 3½ years of my Caverns tenure.

Some of the most memorable times at the Caverns stemmed from the need to help others.  One of my collateral duties was that of park emergency medical services coordinator.  During this time we upgraded the first aid response and training for cave rangers and added several EMTs to the ranks.  Carryouts of overexerted or injured visitors unfortunately seemed to be common- place in the summer months and some incidents still stick out in my mind, like the time when the visitor had a heart attack in the auditorium and Jeff Denny and I performed CPR for close to 2 hours.  Or the man who broke his neck when he fell into a pit while taking a picture near the Whale’s Tail in the Big Room.  I felt so sorry for him and visited him in the hospital for a couple of days after the accident because he was traveling alone and was unable to be moved home until the injuries had stabilized.  Everyone always pitched in during an emergency or carryout.

There are too many great memories to recall in this short amount of space; observing and documenting Ron Kerbo, Jim Goodbar, and Michael Queen on their discovery climb into the Spirit World area; being one of the first employees to observe the delicate, undisturbed beauty beyond the culvert tunnel in Lechuguilla Cave to plan for any potential rescue that may be needed as mappers prepared to go to the bottom of Boulder Falls and beyond (and a rescue did become a reality in a few years); getting in voice with fellow rangers to conduct Rock of Ages ceremony reenactments; or never ceasing to be amazed at an evening sky full of bat wings.

The allure of new challenges took me from Carlsbad Caverns to the Chief Ranger position at Knife River Indian Villages, but the attraction of the Chihuahuan Desert brought me back to Guadalupe Mountains National Park as the Resource Management Specialist.  Today, each drive up Walnut Canyon or walk through the Caverns reminds me of many special people in our national park family and makes me realize I’m better for having worked with them.  I hope they can say the same. 1.

Natural Entrance: Three Occasions, Three Dates

Top picture--Natural Entrance with snow on the ground, December 8, 1931;

Middle picture--Circa 1960's @ the Natural Entrance, group starting tour;

Bottom Picture--July 1986, climbing demo at Natural Entrance or "hanging out"

at the Natural Entrance, heh?  <(*H*)>

P.S. Superintendent Thomas Boles (Supt 1927-1945) remembered walking though

the caverns 5000 times. I remember making it through 5001 times (6/71-1/72 & 1/86-2/2005)    .  <(*O*)> Not really. But Algernon, I did walk out frequently (with T.K. and Janet Brittan particularly and separately; CCGMA chief and CAVE Education specialist) Janet used to get so miffed when I introduced her to visitors we encountered "as my wife." One of us two thought that was funny. The visitors, for their part, seemed to appreciate their sheer good luck of running in a husband and wife ranger team. Janet, a good sport, never turned me in to the NPS policia. I enjoyed working with Janet and TK and the others of the CAVE familia who worked hard to serve the visitors and protect the resources. Yes, I did. ********

Is that Jim White standing mid-way up on
the Natural Entrance stairs? The stairs were
funded by the Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce
to further prepare caverns increased visitation
and economic stimulus to the area. Eventually
in the eraly 1930s elevators would replace these stairs.

Viola Shannon, Olive Johnson, and Claude Fernandez

I am not sure when this picture was taken, but I scanned it 052301. (L-R) are Viola Shannon, Claude Fernandez, and Olive "Johnny" Johnson. Ms. Shannon worked here from 6/41 until 4/68 in a variety of more responsible positions as a laborer, elevator operator, guide, interp supv etc.  Claude worked here from 6/47 until 8/71 (from here he transferred to Fort Union National Monument as Superintendent) Like Ms. Shannon he was promoted several times: from Guide to Tour Leader to Supv Park Ranger to Chief Park Guide. When I was at Bandelier National Monument in May 1971, he called to offer me a permanent park guide job at the caverns. I met his niece Linda Christina on the day I arrived in June 1971 and married her 4 months later. Olive Johnson was my first supervisor when I was permanent in 1971 A delightful woman, once when I shared with her that I had overslept and missed part of my shift in the Big Room, she was impressed with my "volunteered honesty" and bought me an alarm clock. Later as the caverns Park Historian I did several oral history interviews with her. In one of these, I found out that on one tour as tour guide nurse, she slipped at the natural entrance and broke her arm. Telling no one, she finished the one mile+ walk down the Main Corridor before reporting it. I still stand in awe of her courage and determination. She worked here from 11/43 until 5/74 and also became a supervisor--a wonderful supervisor to me.  Bob Hoff
