Harvey Weil Sportsman Conservationist of the Year!

The outdoor tents at Welder Wildlife Refuge were packed Saturday night with people there to honor Texas A&M Press advancement board member Dick Bartlett as the Harvey Weil Sportsman Conservationist of the Year and, as the Professional Conservationist of the Year, Wes Tunnell, the long-time general editor of two press book series on the Gulf of Mexico (here with his wife, Kathy). Also honored, in memoriam, was friend of the press Dick Conolly, whose wife, Norma, is shown here with Dick Bartlett. It was a sensational evening of tribute to these internationally known conservationists.
