Today I had the distinct pleasure of a having a conversation with Tad McCall, Tom and Audrey McCall's eldest son. Tad retired as a captain after a lengthy career in the U.S. Navy and has held significant leadership positions in the Air Force and the Environmental Protection Agency. He's currently with the Texas A & M Institute of Renewable Natural Resources. He told me that like many of us, he's been inspired by his father's life and work, and he's enthusiastic about the goals of the Tom McCall Legacy Project. He says it's not enough to protect our natural resources; we also need to maintain and nurture them. "Its time to revisit it in a common public way and recommit in a way to protect jobs society, and our commitment to each other, he said.--Bill Hall

Am trying to contact Tad since he and I were at Naval OCS together and he and I spent time together being good sailors. Would be nice to communicate with him. I still live in Louisiana and am a retired US Navy Captain.
