Dear Friends,
Frank Jewell, Past President of the Northern Neck Audubon Society, died Tuesday
night after a tough battle with ALS. He outlasted the predictions of his
physicians by some months and this was just like Frank! He had a stubborn
streak when he was fighting for something that he believed to be important.
As NNAS President, Frank worked as an advocate for the environment and for the
protection of sensitive lands. He pushed back against the development of
Fone's Cliffs and the development of Bluff Point. Frank continued to serve as
NNAS President as long as his strength held up.
Love of nature was part of Frank's life up to last. He had the bird feeders
placed closer to the windows so he could enjoy the birds from his chair. From
his perch Frank could view his birds and the beauty of nature along the creek
adjacent to the house. He enjoyed reading; nature and good food (especially ice
cream) as he fought ALS.
Sarah and her family are planning a private funeral as Frank had requested.
