With great appreciation to all who came before us, this page is devoted to individuals and organizations who championed the importance of the Dragon Run. Some of the individuals and organizations we will cover pre-date the founding of the Friends of Dragon Run. Others are the amazing collection of individuals that founded FODR, or played a major role in its growth and work to preserve, protect, and encourage wise use of the Dragon Run.
James V. Morgan - Our Founder and Inspiration
Jimmy is the person who started it all. Through his tireless advocacy for the protection of the Dragon, he inspired countless others to care about and help protect this special place—and even after his death, his legacy continues.
Read what others that knew him have to say about how he lived his life to the fullest.
