Joyce I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and everyone who loved Nylin.
I am so sorry to read of Nylin’s passing. Shawn Stewart posted on FB the news, recalling our trip together to Philmont, with Nylin as our adult leader. I appreciated them, and even more today, as the father of two (soon to be three) Eagle Scouts, Nylin’s incredible generosity in giving so much of his time to the Troop and individual scouts. My thoughts are with the entire Bathke family. Peace, Doug Hallward-Driemeier
