President Weber

Often non-profit organizations struggle to find volunteers to fill the leadership roles. Yet in the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) 2024 election, there were two very solid candidates for president. Tim Mullins is a hard-working, dedicated, and long-time member of the executive. But the winner, Linda Weber, is relatively new to the AANR leadership. However, she already had a significant public profile due to her tireless social media work and public advocacy. At the 2024 AANR conference in Shangri-la Ranch, she discussed with us her plans for her upcoming term.

Family Nudist History

What if you grew up hearing that your great, great, grandfather was known as Rudy The Nudie? That is exactly the experience of Evan Nix who was intrigued enough to start doing some research. He tells us the story of Rudolph Johnson who was a prominent nudist and president of the American Sunbathing Association (ASA and today known as AANR) in 1950-51. You will hear how his research took him from mere curiosity to active naturist participation for his whole family.

Note: This was edited on October 26, 2019 to remove the name and photo of the executive director from the show notes. For personal reasons he no longer wishes to be associated with that part of AANR’s history. We agreed to remove his name so that it would not be indexed by search engines. However the audio interview remains as it provides a relevant record of AANR’s objectives during that period in time.
