Hugh Kramer, Discover Baja Travel Club
Received this earlier today:
It’s with a heavy heart that I share the news of the passing of my husband, Discover Baja Travel Club President and co-founder, Hugh Kramer. Hugh
and I founded Discover Baja in 1991 out of our love for the Baja peninsula, its people, culture, and natural wonders.
Hugh’s first trip to Baja was in the mid-60s, and after he and I were married in the early 70s, Baja became a favorite destination for exploring the
breathtaking deserts, majestic mountains, and pristine beaches. When our children, Jen and David, were born in the 80s, the peninsula became a place
where our family adventures became lifelong memories.
Hugh had a passion and love for Baja that he was always enthusiastic to share with members. His gregarious and generous personality would find him
talking for hours with members who came into the office. This same warmth extended to our staff, whom he treated and loved like family.
Hugh built Discover Baja from the ground up, and over the years worked joyously to enhance the trips of all of the members he loved so much. He loved
being an entrepreneur, and was dedicated to making connections with other business owners in Baja, building enduring friendships throughout the
peninsula.
It was in an early newsletter that Hugh wrote, “Our aim through Discover Baja is to enhance your experience of Baja California. We want the Club to
be your best travel information source as you explore the marvels and probe the mysteries of this fascinating and ever-changing peninsula.”
Carrying on Hugh's legacy, we will work diligently to continue his mission to serve you and to make your Baja travels as enjoyable as possible.
-Carol & the DBTC Staff

Hugh always had the big happy smile and was so welcoming at the Discover Baja parties and slideshows. I will miss seeing and visiting with him.
I read the email and sent my condolences to Carol, Jen, and the staff at Discover Baja.
Some photos when Hugh and Carol were at my Viva Baja parties.....

DEP
What a sad day. They came to visit us way back in the day and we had a couple days of soooooooooooo much talk about Baja.
When we used to go to the store, I bought many a Baja book from their collection.
Bye Hugh and thanks for all you did for Baja!
