Family. It's a big part of why people put up Web pages. Here's where you'll meet the members that make up the NorthStar Trail Travelers family. Featured here are the board members of NSTT who make everything happen. If you'd like to suggest another member whose story should be told, or even your own, just let one of the Board members know. Or send an e-mail to Webmaster@NSTT.org.

 

2009 NSTT Board of Directors

The NSTT Board meets monthly throughout the year, planning events in Minnesota State Parks. Pictured are (front - l-r): Bruce Gravelle, Donna Seline; (back -l-r): Don Husnik,Linda Valen, Peter Cartwright, Burnell Hanson and Darlene Hanson. Not pictured: Lora Plain.

"How long has volksmarching been around?" Donna Seline celebrates 37 years this spring. She serves as NSTT PR Chair. She's holding her Above & Beyond Award, given to retiring board members, officers and outstanding club volunteers.

Lora Plain is the 'transient' of the NSTT board, taking off every fall with Rob in their RV to travel around the country visiting friends, family and many new places in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. She and Rob are charter members of the club and served on the state park reorganization committee that formed NSTT.

Bruce Gravelle is NSTT's Trailmaster. Besides trails, he's in charge of food and just about anything else that needs to be done. He and his family, Sue and Jennifer, have become well known fixtures at NSTT events pitching in wherever help is needed.

Peter Cartwright is serving as our new President. He has been a hard working board member for several years and has graciously stepped up to the plate to lead the organization for a few years.

Darlene and Bernie Hanson have been in Volksmarching since 1990. They especially enjoy the State Parks and walks there. They have been visiting the State Parks since they moved to Minnesota and have visited almost every one. They want to help the club and count the people in the club as their very special friends. Bernie is now serving as NSTT's new Vice President.

Don Husnik and his wife, Marilyn, were lured into NSTT by Rob and Lora Plain. They've lived in many states, but came back to Minnesota to retire. In their quest to visit all the state parks, they joined NSTT. Now they're members, willing volunteers and Don is one of our newest board members and is now serving as its new Treasurer.

Linda Valen completed her first volksmarach at Minneopa State Park in 1989 and she's been participating ever since. She is an avid traveler throughout the U.S. and Canada. She's been a member of NSTT and been supportive and willing to volunteer. She is now serving as our new Secretary.

How many clubs have an official club mascot? Well, NSTT does! Jennifer Gravelle, is always ready to help out at the registration desk to make sure everyone signs the back of their card and pays their fees! She also contributes valuable ideas to the board about how to attract and keep more families involved in folkssporting.

Behind every great Web site, there's a talented Webmaster. In the case of NSTT.org, that would be David Hunt. David spent countless hours setting up the NSTT site in its first few years and NSTT thanks him for his hard work.

Here David accepts the NSTT Above & Beyond Award to him and his wife, Cheryl, for their work on the NSTT Board of Directors.
