The local paper, The Mammoth Times, ran this full cover story on the Mono Lake Committee’s 30th anniversary in September.
Geoff fielded the commonly asked anniversary question nicely:
“We do get this question, of why the committee is still around,” said executive director Geoffrey McQuilkin in a recent telephone interview. “The answer I give is that the committee was founded by people who love the lake and this place. It was not founded to fight Los Angeles. That was the most important thing to do to protect the lake right away, but that’s not the point of the organization.”
