knowledge of the Trinity, of all of the facts about the river and related
issues from pre-dam to present day, and its various restoration programs and
efforts for more than two decades is unparalleled. He also has played a
significant role in many of the various restoration programs' activities and
of the activities leading up to significant decisions affecting the river's
restoration including the Interior Secretary's December 2000 Record of
Decision that returned 47 percent of the river's water to
it.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></B></P>

on FOTR's board enhances our resources and will benefit our efforts to achieve
a restored Trinity River basin ecosystem, its fisheries, its wildlife and its
economy for you, for me and for all future generations.
