Nancy Green Timper: Thank you very much for making this wonderful online tribute to your brother and my friend, Keith Green. He will be missed by the many souls he touched throughout his 78 years.
I first met Keith when I accepted a volunteer position with the National Park Service in October, 1975. Keith was one of the very first persons' I met living in the bottom of the Grand Canyon. In many ways, he introduced me to the magic of living in the "Inner Space" of the canyon, as he loved to call it (conversely he called the Rim "Outer Space"). I recall the many evenings he and I (and others) took walks to the Silver Bridge to stand over the Colorado River and watch the colorful days turn into brilliant starry nights. In some ways, I became wedded to the canyon because of Keith's own embrace of it. He taught me to be "in" the canyon. In those days, Keith was not yet a legend but was on his way to becoming one.
Twenty-five years later, I watched Keith at his very best when he gave his now famous slide presentation of the history of Phantom Ranch, inside a completely packed Cantina at the Millennium Party on December 31, 2000. Keith had 120 former and current Ranchers in stitches as he gave his version of Phantom's colorful history. That is how I will remember Keith, always ready to laugh, always ready to party, always sure that the canyon life was the best life to live! He was right then and remains right forever.
