Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen chat with Mark Stephens, - Lots of talk about the Great Lakes this week but not near enough discussion about the passing of Howard Tanner, the man who is credited with saving the Great Lakes!?! In the 1960's, with beaches covered with dead fish and the food chain for fish being decimated, Howard's boss gave him an incredible project to save the Great Lakes. When he asked his boss what do you suggest? He was told that he had no idea but to do something...and MAKE IT SPECTACULAR!! His idea worked, the lakes were restored and over time it enhanced the multi billion dollar fishing industry that emerged. Listen Saturday at 9AM as Doctor Will Schultz, DVM (retired) and Lee Cohen chat with Mark Stephens, a friend, neighbor and fishing mate of Howard who works for MSU and the DNR on Project FISH, Salmon in the Classroom and coming soon to school classrooms in Michigan, Sturgeon in the Classroom. Besides telling stories about Howard, Mark will describe these programs and his history working with kids in the classroom and out in the water teaching many thousands of people all ages about how to fish. Learn why it is important and the great lessons imparted to kids in a fun and interesting way which makes them want to learn. What's in the lakes, that they are in ecological and biological balance thanks to men like Howard Tanner and how to keep them that way is more important then political arguments over names!
