- Senator Mark Udall,
Margaret 'Mardy' Murie was someone about whom children should know. She was naturalist, author, adventurer, environmentalist, and Medal of Freedom winner…. Life would not be worth living without the 'elemental kinds of joys' offered by nature, she often said. She is today fondly remembered as the 'Grandmother of the Conservation Movement.' Children should read about Mardy Murie, because she was and is inspirational. Who, after all, does not want his child to grow up to accomplish miracles?
