Here is what I wrote about Gary in the Bosque Site Guide 2010 Update:
"My November 2010 IPT visit was a fabulous one. Bosque Open Windows superstar, Gary “The Animal” Rouleau, brought political pressure to bear on the refuge management team after the disastrous 2009 no corn season. There was lots of corn in 2010. Kudos to the refuge staff for getting the refuge in great shape for this winter."
Gary was part of the first Open Windows volunteer group that I set up three years ago I think. From the start, it was obvious that Gary was a strong and tireless worker. We quickly nicknamed him "The Animal." I worked with the first group and I can tell you that it was the hardest physical labor that I have ever done. I do hope to return next year to help. Steve Garner is right up there with Gary and has also been there three years in a row.
The crew this year was quite small and I am hoping that Gary will allow me to try and line up some new folks for next year's group.
With his off the refuge behind the scenes work Gary is pretty much responsible for the great conditions at Bosque this year.
Thank you Gary for your tireless efforts.
