A Farewell from Steve Austin - after 45 years of service
The Natural Resources Management Program was recently celebrated by many USACE leaders, including Mr. Alvin Lee, Director of Civil Works, who said "When you go to our recreation areas, the park rangers are the face to the Corps, providing essential services to the public, and thats very important." Mr. Thomas Smith, Chief of Operations and Readiness Division, commented, in reference to the 250 million annual visitors, "all they want to do is come to a beautiful place and have an enjoyable experience  and they are doing that under the architect and framework provided by our park rangers." Mr. Mike Ensch, former Chief of Operations and Readiness, said, in relation to the early park ranger surveys, "he (Steve) put his heart and soul and drew the conscience of the field into the findings of those surveys," Mr. Jeff Krause, Chief of Natural Resources Management (NRM), who does an incredible job in supporting the NRM program, provided the platform, upon which to recognize both "he" and our program.
