| Bill Knox was the HikaNation Historian during HikaNation (1980-1981) and for sometime afterwards. He was responsible for collecting and organizing articles and stories from HikaNation participants and is probably responsible for this scrapbook from AHS. Most of the articles in this scrapbook were already added to this website (having been previously obtained from various people) but the articles below are "new" to the website. Mentions of Bill Knox are accessible with the links in the column to the right. |
