<DIV>Thanks, Spreck, and Byron has been like few others in his advocacy for our
rivers, and particularly the Trinity! The Endangered Species Coalition
recognized Byron last year with our wildlife stewardship award for his work on
the Trinity. We had a special reception and ceremony in Sebastopol, at the
home of one of our Board members. He's a special guy!</DIV>

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>

economy for you, for me and for all future generations.
