Gauverband Nordamerika

We recently learned that Hans Schupp, a founding member of Gauverband Nordamerika passed away on June 9 at the age of 86. Hans was one of the first Gaubeisitzer.

In January 1966, Hans Schupp represented his Verein, SG Alpenland Montreal, at the founding meeting of Gauverband Nordamerika. Of the 17 Vereine attending, Alpenland was the only one from Canada. At that meeting, the delegates elected the first slate of officers to lead the newly formed Gauverband. Among them was Hans Schupp, who became one of the first Gaubeisitzer.
