I expect that a majority of us attending tonight have had the privilege of working with Ed Clark, President of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, on some project, campaign or committee over his decades of work in the state.

In reviewing his biography, I noticed that Ed hasn't received a major Virginia conservation honor since the Virginia Wildlife Foundation recognized him as Conservation Educator of the Year in 1987.
