I've made framed awards prints for the Land Trust for the Little Tennessee every year since 2005. Usually they are one of my pictures that relate to the person receiving the award or the property they received it for. This year was a little different. I didn't have a 42-year-old picture of the Cowee School, so they photographed the yearbook.
2013 Bob and Virginia Ramsey Brunner Conservationist of the Year Award to the Macon County Board of Commissioners for making the Cowee School a community center.
