Bill Casper and Kathleen Schmitt Kline – “Sturgeon for Tomorrow”
October 31st, 7pm, 1111 Genetics/Biotechnology Center, 425 Henry Mall
According the the Capital Times, “Casper was just 8 years old in 1939 when he tagged along with an uncle who after only a few hours speared a 104-pound sturgeon. It was Casper’s first trip to a spearing shack and helped transform the farm boy into a sturgeon fanatic and, later in life, lead him to create Sturgeon for Tomorrow. Founded in 1977, the advocacy group, as of this year, will have donated $1 million to the state Department of Natural Resources for sturgeon research, management and education.”
