Jean Beasley, Hero of the Year!
A few posts ago I mentioned that Jean Beasley, director of the Karen
Beasley Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation center, was up for Animal
Planet's Hero of the Year Award.
Well the award was given out November 1st, and last night I came home
from a night out with my BFF Julie to find an e-mail from Glen Pierce
telling me (get this!) that Jean had WON the award.
Great news! I thank everyone who voted for her (while the voting was
actually in place, that is). I don't know how much it helped but it
certainly couldn't have hurt.
I congratulate Jean and all the staff and volunteers of the Hospital. As
I mentioned earlier, Jean plans to use the prize money to lay the
cornerstone on the new hospital. And of course the real winners are
the turtles!
