Kenne Turner, David W. Lazaroff, Steve Plevel, and Bob Barnacastle
Yesterday I was honored to be MC at the graduation event for sixteen new naturalists, which included recognizing the founders of the Sabino Canyon Volunteer Naturalists (SCVN), David W. Lazaroff, Steve Plevel and Bob Barnacastle. In 1977 these guys began formulating what became SCVN. It was a pleasure to stand along side of such giants in our organization.Their continuing support is a reflection of the quality of SCVN.
Big THANKS to all who made yesterday’s event a great success.

Congratulations on this honor. Thank you for all of your wonderful posts and information!
You are most welcome.
Very nice, Kenne. I understand I missed an outstanding graduation. Did you get any other shots or videos?

Lois husband, Rick, took this one. As MC I didn’t have much of a chance to take photos.
Bob Barnacastle passed peacefully New Year’s Eve 2024. As the former Director of the Tubac Presidio, and long time Old Town Tubac neighbor and friend, I credit Bob and others of his cohorts who were responsible for fostering the Tubac Historic District and the Tubac Townsite National Historic District and helping to secure Tubac’s historic character and heritage assets. His presence is felt in each of the historic adobes his advocacy helped preserve for us to appreciate today. Nancy Valentine Historic Lowe House Tubac AZ lowehouseproject.com tubacval@msn.com
