A Tribute to Charles J. Legac
Charles Legac had a deep appreciation for the outdoors—and no more so than when he could share that appreciation with family and friends.He loved bird watching, hiking, biking, fishing, and camping—really anything that involved being actively and directly engaged with the natural world. According to his widow and wife of 53 years, Marlene, “Chuck was always committed to getting our children and grandchildren exposed to nature. He recently read Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv and found that the book mirrored his lifelong passion and philosophy of getting children outside and closer to nature.”
As a result of Mr. Legac’s commitment and his resonance with Last Child’s message, the Legac family chose to have donations in his honor be made to C&NN in order to help support the campaign to leave no child inside and the movement to reconnect children and nature. We are deeply grateful and honored to be able to thank the family and friends who made these contributions and to recognize the enduring spirit of this dedicated family man.
