Primarily an administrator of state funded programs. Watershed planning and fish habitat restoration work was just getting started.

Can you think of a story from your time at the CD you would love to tell folks?
As the chair I really appreciated how proficient Peggy and Val were. Meetings were always organized – I could show up unprepared and just let the meeting run itself. Once or twice a month they would stop by my office with a stack of paper needing signatures. Within a few minutes each piece was explained and signed. They made the job easy.
