One of the first things Al Nash can remember about Yellowstone National Park is the smell.
“I remember how stinky it was—that sulfur smell,” Nash said, recalling a trip to Yellowstone with his parents when he was a young child, more than 50 years ago.
“I remember my mom shooing my sister and I into the car while my dad was trying to get a photo of a black bear in a pull-out,” he said.
Those early Yellowstone memories came flooding back this month as Nash, the chief of public affairs for Yellowstone since 2006, reflected on nearly a decade in that role just before his last day on the job March 18.
