Former Saving The Sierra (STS) Intern Chris Kerson sent this our way, which I thought would be appropriate to share:
"Oh i saw the post about Attilio. I know I never met him, but I have to say it really choked me up. He was really an amazing man. I hope I have half the passion he does in my elder years. I don't know if I ever told you about it, but I played his storybooth recording for my Ag Issues class. An entire room of college students who could have cared less about anything other than the fact that they had to wake up for an early class, immediately were silenced by his voice. Everyone leaned forward a bit to make sure they caught everything he said. And when it was over and they were overwhelmed by his love for the land and his love for his lifestyle, you could see that many of the students were lost in thought thinking about what their lives might hold. Anyways, he really touched my life, and I just want to say thank you for sharing his story. "
