Love, congratulations and best wishes to Elliot Hazen, who is no doubt a terrific eco-activist.  Does he put his life at risk, though, just for show?

Evel an I were kindred spirits, hold overs from the days of leaded gasoline that killed the cognitive process and made you think with your Harley Davidson and some Sunoco 260 you could actually jump a Greyhound bus.

First, I am very proud to have won this award - J should honestly have been the first recipient.  Many of us are doing the little things to push the green revolution along - as many of you know, it's tougher to tackle the bigger challenges so it is great to be rewarded when you do.  

Especially for those of you in NC, please check out our webpage for green happenings at the Marine Lab and in Carteret County.  Just google: Green Wave Duke.  Keep on jumping!
