The fish in the Wisconsin River that I catch are there because of him
and his work on the Clean Water Act. The fact that I can go to the
Wild and Scenic Rivers in my state (or any other state) is
attributable to his efforts. His contributions to the life we
fishermen live today are legion.

Amen.

Muir, Leopold, Nelson........nothing more than pure coincidence that three
such giants should all have such a strong connection to one particular

Gonna be a tough act to follow.
