Two of our Forest Resources Educators, Sumner Dole and Don Black, are retiring, Sumner on October 2, 2007, and Don in January, 2008.

Both Sumner and Don appreciate the support they've received over the years from their colleagues, county advisory councils, partners, and most importantly their clientele.

Sumner, with over 32 years with UNH Cooperative Extension, and Don, with over 36 years, take with them over six decades of Extension forestry experience.

Please join me in thanking Sumner and Don for all their efforts over the years. We will miss them for the many things they have contributed to Extension, their counties and to the greater forestry community in the state.
