Airpark co-founder, Jeanette Hunt, was there at the beginning, the day the land was purchased from the Evers Family, all the way through until her passing in April, 2024. In 2020, Jeanette created and presented to Chapter 35 a history of San Geronimo Airpark, from the rock picking parties, to the well drilling, the construction of the Ops building and the Chapter clubhouse, to the paving of the runway, it's all there. We are gratefull to Jeanette for creating this presentation and reminding us of our history. You can read the full transcript of Jeanette's presentation here, or view her presentation here.
