They were bringing orienteering to our club along with some hikes. Bert Nixdorf and The Ringos worked together on outdoor activities. Eventually the Ringos devoted most of their time to orienteering and Bert Nixdorf moved the outdoors club to a 1200 membership and both a still going strong. I have alot to be thankful. for. Pat
