Jerry responds:

. . . I must say this was an utter surprise, and of course also a delight. I am deeply honored and very grateful.

The citation says that I have kept the Coalition and the Council reminded of our responsibilities to cultural resources and to programs as well as to parks, and it mentions strategic planning. I have to say, dear friends, that this work with you has never been difficult. One of the reasons CNPSR has been a pleasure is that I have always encountered broad perspectives and comprehensive philosophies among you. And especially it is because you plan your future and then actually carry out the plan. CNPSR is my kind of organization, and it is particularly pleasing to be singled out by you for this award.
