To EPA New England’s new regional administrator – Congratulations!

Congratulations! to RI’s own Curt Spalding on his appointment as Regional Administrator for EPA New England. You can read the story here.

Curt was my boss at Save The Bay when I worked there from 1990-1995. He had just been named Executive Director and I was his first hire as Director of Development & Marketing. We were good partners and worked closely together.

Curt stepped down from Save The Bay after  20 years. He has much to be proud of during his tenure there. And Save The Bay has many decades of accomplishments in protecting, restoring and preserving Narragansett Bay and its watershed.

Yesterday, Curt and I were planning to work on a project together. Today, he finally hears about the appointment. My loss, EPA and our environment’s gain. It’s very exciting. Looks like Curt will be joining his wife Patrice on the train to Boston.

We are expecting really great things from you, Curt. I know you’ll deliver.

Big high five, Gayle
