This world is a sadder place w/o these two legends. So honored to have met both. They believed that we'd make the changes necessary to save this plane. ”The only way to really honor his and Lovejoy’s legacy would be to prove him right.” I'm in. Are you? newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
I love what I hope is the kind thought behind this effort and not just a gimmick. I know so many that do need these resources! So retweet! Unfollow later if you want, but get in the mix!!

Ty @PattyMurray for your leadership on preserving #WildOlympics for our economy and our kids.
