Speaking of Dyke Marsh - I've been thinking that it would be wonderful to re-name Dyke Marsh for Louis Halle, author of Spring in Washington, who recently passed away. I think it would take the support of ANS, MOS, and VOS, but does anyone happen to know who owns Dyke Marsh? Is it federal property? Would anyone be willing to help me get the ball rolling by contacting VOS? I'll contact ANS, and perhaps anyone who is active in MOS can contact the appropriate person.
