Pat and Rachel Rawson are former boatmen with Canyon Tours, but now run a gift shop on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. Among their children are Mike, who works for the Phoenix Police Department and a daughter, Michelle, a boatman with Canyon Tours.

"Rachel was the second Canyon Tours woman boatman, after Louise. She and Pat both ran that trip where Al and Karin met. The first time, I mean."CF16

Willie Stein refused to promote a second woman as a boatman after Louise Buck, so Rachel stayed a swamper for years.

After Al and Louise bought Canyon Tours, the couple were married and soon had Michelle. They would trade off trips for a while as they raised kids until they quit to open their gift shop. They continued to run half-trips.

Both are 52 years old in 2001, but neither looks to be much over thirty, a trait they passed on to Michelle. They were described as "a couple, both small and blonde."CF16 They both grew up in Roswell, New Mexico.INTA6

Hannah McCluskey, one of Michelle's cousins, worked as a swamper in 1999, and is on trips in 2000 and 2001.

Pat and Rachel welcomed Duane MacRae, not raising any question about him living with Michelle, at least in part because it showed she was settling down a little.INTA6
