In loving memory of Deborah A. Wood, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I was able to work with Deb for many years at the NDMC. She was so passionate and insightful regarding children’s environmental education. I have so many good memories of our outreach and work friendship. She is one of the loveliest people I have known. With deepest sympathies.
