In Memory of Seth Judd (Click Here)
We are saddened to share the passing of Seth Judd, a dear friend and former MRF board member who gave so much of himself to this organization and to all of us who knew him. Living on the banks of the Madison, Seth cared deeply about the health of this river and the community around it. Our river truly ran through him. He will be deeply missed, and he will never be forgotten. Tight lines, dear friend!
