William J. Whalen

returned him to Golden Gate. He left the NPS in 1983.

A native of Burgettstown, PA, he joined NPS as a job corps counselor in 1965 and became well known in Washington, D.C., as manager of the Summer in the Parks Programs. He was deputy superintendent at Yosemite National Park and then managed all NPS areas in the bay Area of San Francisco, including Golden Gate National Recreation Area. As Director he saw the national park acreage double in size. Management of an expanded System including vast new parks in Alaska challenged his best talents. Whalen has returned to San Francisco Bay Area as general superintendent of Golden Gate National Recreation Area. [http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/hisnps/NPSHistory/direct.htm] .
