Re: Glacier Point Hotel Fire Aftermath

I went into my 40-year old photograph archive to retrieve this
photo taken of the aftermath of the Glacier Point Hotel fire in
the summer of 1969. I was on the park campground maintenance
crew at the time, and made one trip to the post-fire scene.

Was there any disagreement as to re-build the hotel or not, or was it in general consensus that an era had ended?

See the last couple paragraphs of this link:

[P.S. I'm certain that there were a lot of unhappy rodents up at Glacier when their home burned down in 1969. My first trip to Yosemite was in 1968; drove up to Glacier, took one look at that rat's nest, decided that I wasn't going to set foot on it, and went back over to Washburn where I spent the night.
P.P.S. Too bad Hertzog didn't pull down the Half Dome cables too.]
