Hank coordinated one of the most massive, successful environmental programs in West Virginia - the cleanup of Stillhouse Cave. The project won the Governor's Award in 1991 for outstanding work on behalf of West Virginia's environment. 1800 cubic yards (337,500 pounds) of trash was removed from a cave that had been trashed since the late 40s. When the job was finished, Hank and Carol planted native wildflowers on the site. It remains a memorial to a man who took actions on his beliefs. See attached.
