Bench dedication
and ceremony
On
Saturday, November 22, 2008
family
and friends celebrated
her
life and accomplishments
at the refuge she helped to create.
Wonderful,
humorous, and
touching
tales of Janice's life
were
shared by many.
Linda
Patterson designed a beautiful memorial bench that is at once
a wonderful addition to the wildlife refuge and lasting tribute
to Janice's efforts to protect our bay. The vantage
point from the bench will provide current and future generations
a glorious view of the bay and wildlife
thriving
in an area that might have been
developed
and lost forever if not for the
tireless
struggle of people like Janice.
Thanks
to Linda Patterson,
the
staff of the DESFBNWR,
and
donations made in Janice's behalf
for
making this well deserved tribute
possible.
We
are working on a slide show of the
ceremony
and hope to have it posted
on
our website soon. In the meantime,
please
enjoy the tribute
sent by
Rick
Coleman (former refuge manager).
