Hi all. Some of you are aware of from what we posted on CDF but because some of you arent I wanted to post it here. I am part of a new conservation group dedictaed to the protection of our natural water resources. I will post our mission statement below after this but as part of the Aquatic Science Association we have decided to have an annual award to be named after Edd. Edd will be the first to recieve this award and ceremonies will be January 19th in Marianna. There will also be several other possible awards given to Edd.
As all this is coming together, there may be a medal from the Coast Gaurd, a pavillion at Jackson Blue named after him and several mosr things in the works. Anyone interested in donating to the cause should get up with myself or Steve Cushman for more details. We can be reached at steve@caveconnections.com and kvcarl@aol.com . This is a surprise so dont tell Edd. The entire BOD for ASA cant thank you enough for the generous support so far. Lets keep it up and we look forward to seeing a bunch of you there.
