Recognition well deserved


The other day Ima received a copy of an interesting review of author Daniel Nelson’s “A Passion for the Land: John F. Seiberling and the Environmental Movement,” which was published in hardback this fall by Kent State University Press. 


The former Ohio Congressman — and the late brother of Shelter Island’s Dorothy Seiberling — is credited in the book with ground-breaking legislation preserving millions of acres of wilderness across the country in the 1970s and 1980s. 


A family of many talents indeed.
