Gordon Black was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award during the annual meeting of the Cahaba River Society on February 3, 2022. As the society’s Education Director, he has mentored thousands of school children, and has worked to address many of the same issues that face our bayous here in Houston. Gordon wasn’t surprised to receive a framed plaque, but he was surprised when he was deluged with a sea of party balloons. Fortunately, this was captured on video, which you can see at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7Oazzr2TKE. The award presentation begins at about 14:30 into the recording.
