HURT was registered as a non-profit corporation in approximately 1991 with the state
dept. of commerce & consumer affairs. The name is also registered with the state of
Hawaii and thus, protected. As a matter of fact, Carl Gammon was the one who came up
with the idea.
John Salmonson is the boss and the following people are the charter
members listed in the documents:
John & PJ Salmonson,
Richard & Berna Senelly,
Randy & Priscilla Havre,
Alan & Vivian Nozaki,
Vernon Char,
Jim Budde,
Ed Fishman,
Milicent Schatz,
Nancy Au,
Bill & Sandra Burgess,
Carl Gammon and
Suzi Cope (then Thibeault).
The executive committee is: John Salmonson, Richard Senelly and Randy Havre.
This structure and registered membership still exists today.
John Salmonson is the founder, leader, supplier of the shirts, the only authorized
distributor of the shirts and more than anything else, our "GURU". Since I don't have
Big John's picture, this is one of his wife,
PJ Salmonson with me on the Kalalau Trail.
