through the Custer State Park Foundation; and 9
WHEREAS, most cabin owners' leases expire in a few years; and 10

WHEREAS, the cabin owners have a long legacy with the park and consider themselves 14
guardians of the park and its heritage; and 15
WHEREAS, the cabin owners have property rights that need to be respected and honored, 16
