Passing of Rawson Wood

[moose tracks]

It is with sadness that I report that Rawson L. Wood, the Loon Preservation Committee's founder, passed away on July 4th at 103 years of age. Born on September 16, 1908, Rawson worked throughout his life for causes having to do with social justice and preserving nature. In 1975, concerned by the decreasing number of loons on Squam Lake where he and his family had summered for many years, Rawson created the Loon Preservation Committee to recover New Hampshire's loon population.
