Outdoor Writers announce
annual awards
Last weekend I attended the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers
Association annual awards conference along with my
fiancée Donna Rai’ and my friend Brad Isles, who is a
fellow writer and member of the organization and
designer of this Web site. The event took place in
Allentown, PA, which required a long rainy-day drive
across Interstate 80, through the “Pennsylvania Wilds”
country, over grand rivers, above deep, rain-soaked
valleys, and under lush green mountainsides trimmed with
fog, one of my favorite road trips in the world.
At the conference Brad was elected Editor of the
organization’s newsletter, and I signed on as chairman
of the Membership Development Committee. I finally
received the Bass Pro Shops “Pass It On” award announced
last fall, and that required me to deliver a short
impromptu speech to the group. I also won the “Allegheny
National Forest Conservation” prize for a piece I did
last year on brook trout enhancements in the ANF and the
“Trout and Coldwater Fishery” award for my story last
summer on solitary small-stream trout fishing.
I guess you’ve got to enjoy them while you can. I may
not win anything again for the next 10 years.
Good luck out there. And have a great week outdoors.
