Jackson Hole News & Guide Columns

Johanna Love, a reporter for the Jackson Hole News and Guide, was one of 18 members of a Goodwill Mission from Wyoming that visited China's Shanxi province in October 2007. The trip was organized by the Jackson Hole Center for Global Affairs and led by Mark Barron, mayor of Jackson, and Gene Bryan, chair of the Wyoming Tourism and Travel Board. The group visited Wutai Mountain, China's holiest Buddhist mountain site, and other cultural sites throughout the province. They met with provincial leaders to explore a sister city relationship between Jackson and Wutai Mountain and to explore other common interests in cultural exchange, the promotion of tourism, and cultural and historical preservation.
