May 13th, 2005 - Honorary doctorate for founder of Earth Day

As most of you probably are not aware, the founder of Earth Day is from Wisconsin. This weekend, former U.S. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, also a lifetime advocate for “rich land, clean air, safe water” in Wisconsin, will receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters May 14 at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (where I work). Wish this was last year–I attended the ceremony last year. He would have been a cool person to meet.
