Celebrating Bill Lane
On November 7th, Bill Lane celebrated his 90th birthday. Bill and Jean Lane have been generous donors to POST for many years and and have sponsored POST’s Wallace Stegner Lecture series since its founding in 1993. Bill is a conservation pioneer and longtime philanthropist, and has served as the publisher of Sunset Magazine and ambassador to both Australia and Japan.
We took the opportunity of this special day to thank Bill with a bench dedicated to his lifetime of inspiring work.
