I attended the 1980 event and it was wonderful. Erickson's presence was felt throughout. An especially nice touch was the sagebrush on stage - which represented Erickson. That symbol is burned in my mind. I climbed Squaw Peak the last day and really felt like it was at the suggtion of Erickson. The trail was full of peope who were "playing hookie" from the workshops to honor Erickson on the mountain.
