Everyday This Week: Chicago Businessman &
Great Lakes Advocate GARY WILSON
Each
week the Great Lakes Town Hall (www.greatlakestownhall.org) invites
grassroots activists, artists, officials, physicians, parents, young people and
others to offer insightful commentary on their Great Lakes
experiences and views. Of course, we also invite you to comment on their
thoughts.
This
week, the Great Lakes Town Hall is pleased to welcome Great
Lakes volunteer, advocate and businessman, Gary Wilson. Each
day this week, Gary will be posting comments on
Great Lakes restoration and the recent Great Lakes Restoration Conference in Cleveland, OH.
Gary is
a life-long resident of the Great Lakes region having lived in Detroit,
Cleveland, and Chicago. His professional career consisted of
working over 30 years for United Airlines in a number of management positions. Gary retired early from
United in 2002 to join his wife’s consulting firm where he continues to
work today.
Also
in the Town Hall, a featured issue on the lessons we could learn from the
people of Nepal and a
home-page poll: “In the US,
a multi-billion dollar restoration package has been proposed for the Great Lakes. Potential projects include new sewer
systems, wildlife habitat protection, and more. But who is best suited to
manage the funds and restore the lakes?”
