This weekend, US Fish and Wildlife Service Director Sam Hamilton passed away unexpectedly while on a skiing trip in Colorado. Sam was an avid angler and cared passionately about getting kids outdoors. The FWS is an important and valued partner of the FYCC and Sam's involvement will be missed at this year's event. Our condolences to the FWS family and to Sam's family. Click here to read Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar's statement about the loss.
