Concession Employee Drowns In Canoeing Accident

James Greene, 22, and Joseph “Clay” Nelson, 29, both employees of Glacier Park, Inc., a park concessioner, were canoeing on Swiftcurrent Lake on the park’s east side around 3 a.m. on the morning of July 14th when their canoe tipped over. Nelson made it to shore, but Greene did not. Responding rangers found his body just before noon in about eight feet of water. It was brought to shore and sent to the coroner’s office in Glacier County for an autopsy. Temperatures were in the mid to upper 40s at the time of the incident. About 20 park employees were involved in the search for the body. An investigation is underway.
