"I've said from literally Day One that these names belong with these places, and ultimately belong to the American people," Yosemite National Park spokesman Scott Gediman said Monday."So to have this dispute resolved is huge."
Under the terms of the settlement, Aramark will pay Delaware North to use the names through the end of its contract in 2031. Ownership of the names will then revert to the federal government, leaving no question as to whether the park can continue using them, Gediman said. The famed Ahwahnee Hotel was established in the 1920s and has played host to such celebrities as Queen Elizabeth II, John F. Kennedy and Charlie Chaplin. It was one of the highest-profile properties renamed in 2016, pending the outcome of the lawsuit, but there were others.
"Places like the Ahwanee Hotel and Curry Village, they both bring out such deep emotions in people and people have such connections to them."
Finally!
Thank goddess. I've taken three Ansel Adams Workshops and stayed there. A group always joined me for dinner. It could not be anything but the Ahwahnee Hotel. I watched coyotes jump high into the grass and come up with a tasty morsel. Big Sigh.
held hostage and forced to pay them to get their name back ... seems like ransom to me ... 🤔 Glad they get to have their names back.
