By Mary Ann Lockhart

Mount Pinos District Ranger Tom Kuekes is retiring from the U.S. Forest Service on September 30, 2009. He will give a speech about the past and the future of the world of the U.S. Forest Service on Saturday, Aug. 1 at 7 p.m. in Pine Mountain. The public is invited.

Kuekes came to the Mount Pinos District in 2001. He has been tireless in working with community groups, including the Sierra Club, always willing to listen to the concerns of the community and to take action. He has served our area well, within the guidelines of the Forest Service’s mandate.

The Condor meeting is in the Pool Pavilion of the Pine Mountain Clubhouse. There is a potluck at 6 p.m. All members of the public as well as Sierra Club members are welcome.
