| 12.2 Alva Appel died on December 2, 2006. Alva Appel (1922-2006) was a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) minister, Chief of Chaplains for the United States Air Force Auxillary Civil Air Patrol (CAP), and Chaplain Colonel of the United States Congressional Squadron. Alva was a strong climber who searched all over Ararat including the summit, in the Ahora Gorge as well as on both the eastern and western rims, and with Fernand Navarra all over the northwest slopes and Parrot Glacier. A clear-minded soul who was never swayed by “Ark Fever,” Alva brought a critical-thinking attitude that was helpful to promote honest research and as secretary for the Archaeological Research Foundation (ARF) between 1965 and 1969, he kept the ARF on the straight and narrow way where he was involved. Alva’s father-in-law was the President of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. |
