LOCAL ENVIRONMENTALIST HONORED
The Thankful Hubbard Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has honored local environmentalist, Edward (Ned) Fritz, with the DAR Conservation Medal Award. A recipient of this award must have a distinguished and outstanding conservation record. As the father of environmentalism in Texas for his work in establishing many environmental organizations; his efforts in conserving land and wildlife; and his efforts in environmental education, Ned Fritz easily met the criteria for the award, according to chapter members.

Zipra Morgan, Regent of the Austin chapter and A. Gayle Hudgens, Ph.D., Chapter Conservation Chair, will be coming from Austin to Dallas for the award ceremony. The ceremony will take place Sunday, March 11, at 1:30 p.m. in Raible Chapel of the First Unitarian Church of Dallas, Preston Road at Normandy. The public is invited.

The DAR Conservation Committee was first established at the national level in 1909 and has since emphasized the responsible use of our natural resources. It also promotes recycling, water conservation, airscaping with native plants. It offers updates on land use issues, alternative energy sources and aquifer replenishment.

No One Should Think for Life After Death
By Edward C. Fritz
March 5, 2007


Many people, including my wife and I, and all other persons, never live after death. No person goes to heaven or where.
All persons should try to enjoy life, but not try to resume after death.
More people hope that after they die they will get off our planet and live again. We have never seen any people get back to life after they die.
Like most people, I have enjoyed life and done helpful things. I have done little good lately, since I am old. I am 91 years old, plus about a month.
All persons should enjoy life and help others to enjoy life. They should not work for a life after death.
