On his recent trip to a meeting of the Colorado Watershed Assembly (CWA) in Vail, Assembly members surprised TWP’s National Director Richard Fox with  an award for his work. Richard founded the CWA and was pivotal to its success for its first few years; the CWA honored Richard for his “extraordinary leadership and persistence.” He also managed to build an organization that is now sustainable without his oversight, the ultimate goal and challenge for any visionary. His new plaque reads, “… we would not be where we are without your dedication, weird humor and passion. The rivers of Colorado are better due to your efforts.” Way to go Richard!
