General Note
T. N. (Tommy) Anderson was a conservationist and popular sports fishing writer. The woman is not identified, but may be his spouse.
The award reads: "Florida Dept. of Natural Resources Certificate of Merit to T.N. Tommy Anderson, January 31, 1978, in recognition of outstanding contributions to the State of Florida as conservationist and sports writer and to the Florida Dept. of Natural Resources as editor of Florida Conservation Notes."
The Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR) was created in 1969 (Ch. 69-106, Laws) by combining the functions of the State Board of Conservation; the Canal Authority; the Commission on Marine Sciences and Technology; the Florida Keys Aqueduct Commission; the Board of Parks and Historic Memorials; the Outdoor Recreational Development Council; the Board of Drainage Commissioners; and the Suwannee River Development Authority. DNR was abolished in 1993 when its duties were merged with the Department of Environmental Regulation (DER) to form the Dept. of Environmental Protection (DEP).
