Alice Knight was an
active Handlan member, including serving as vice-president, when
she unexpectedly died in January, 2008. Alice was also
vice-president of the Friends of Coonskin, and she worked
tirelessly to protect the park when its hiking areas
were threatened by the possibility of airport expansion. In
honor of her efforts, the Nature Trail at Coonskin is
being officially designated the Alice Knight Trail. A ceremony
to dedicate the trailhead marker is being organized by Tara
Martin (Alice's daughter) and Anna Squillaro (Alice's long-time
friend) for May 22. Tara has put together an e-mail
E-vite that
includes information about the ceremony, and I will forward that
in a separate e-mail. |
