Craig was born on April 3, 1979, in Detroit Michigan, to Donna and Lewis Patterson. He grew up in Pittsburgh, Little Rock, and Lausanne, Switzerland, and developed an early love of the mountains. He attended North Allegheny High School in Wexford, Penn., and Miami University of Ohio, obtaining a degree in geology. After completing a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail in the spring of 2001, he moved to Alaska to be an avalanche instructor and guide. He not only fell in love with Alaska but also his future wife, Renae. Together they moved to Utah. Craig spent time working for Black Diamond Equipment and continued his passion for the mountains, where his accomplishments included climbing and skiing in South America, and summiting Denali. He became a Utah Mountain Adventures guide and avalanche safety instructor. He eventually found his dream job as an avalanche forecaster for the Utah Department of Transportation in Provo Canyon.

Feed yourself! By Sarah Hill, research librarian, and Lauren Miller, program coordinator, Park City Museum "A garden should not be considered as a piece of wild nature, nor plants regarded as architectural ornaments, for one must not do violence to the other. Above all must there be harmony. Otherwise the builder has labored in vain, for he has not made a picture that artists care to reproduce." Park Record, August 24, 1917 became essential for families to find other ways to provide nourishment for themselves. With even the smallest garden plot, families could generate enough fruits and vegetables to feed them not only through the growing season but also well into the winter. Having a root cellar and the ability to can one's fruits and vegetables lengthened the life of a home garden. These gardens gave families the opportunity to eat healthier, be self-reliant, and save money by avoiding costly market prices. With such benefits, it is no wonder The Park Record encouraged locals to take advantage of whatever growing space was available. Several articles highlight the importance of having one's own food source. The newspaper itself assisted by providing advice on tools, the growing season, crops, garden plans, and sustainability. It also encouraged owners of vacant land It's almost that time of the year, already! With spring fast approaching, many of you may be considering a plot with the Summit County Community Gardens, or even getting your own gardens ready for planting, as they always have in Park City. Planning your garden plots and deciding what to plant can be a most rewarding activity, one that has been an important part of local history.

By encouraging this sense of community, it was believed that private and public gardens were a "long step toward the prosperity of the entire community." By 1944, a home garden 50 feet by 100 feet was valued at more than $120. However, gardens didn't just benefit the town or stand as potential for financial gain. They also provided family bonding time. Although often considered a chore, taking care of the family garden was remembered fondly in oral history interviews by the Adamson family. Their family garden was something the kids took part in at an early age, and an activity that yielded a great sense of accomplishment. The Park Record captured this sentiment best in 1926: "And some how or other the things you raise afford the greatest satisfaction when placed on the dinner table."
