Our very own "Charlton Heston"

So my father just began his year as President of the NWRA (National Water Resources Association).
Not to be confused with the "NRA" he..he... I like to think of him as our very own Charlton Heston. We joked about his "coronation" this past week - I'm not sure if he thought we were very funny... When I told the kids, Laina's comment was "I'd like to be able to swim in the lakes?" (The lakes around here are picturesque but deadly to your health - and do not allow swimming because people would probably die from the toxins.) I'm sure he'll get right to work on that :)

I thought I'd do a little research on him and came across this little blurb on Agri-Business Council of Arizona's site (next to an image of him - Dad...I know what I'm getting you for Christmas. I apologize greatly - I have failed you as a daughter/photographer.) Anyway - I thought it was cool to be able to google your father and read stuff you didn't know...like WOW! he had five kids??!!! holy cow. That's a lot.

Wade and his wife Kathy are the parents of five children. He is a fifth-generation native Arizonan, born in Safford and growing up in Wilcox. After a family move to Tempe, he graduated from Tempe High School. His Bachelor’s Degree is from the University of Arizona (1973) and his Juris Doctor Degree from St. Mary’s University of San Antonio (1977).

Wade has been in private practice in Yuma since 1978. He was a member of the Westover Law Firm until its dissolution in 1996. In that year, he formed the Noble Law Offices.

Primary clients include: Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation and Drainage District, Yuma Irrigation District, North Gila Valley Irrigation and Drainage District, Hohokam Irrigation District and Unit B Irrigation and Drainage District.

There was a long list of Professional Activities - but I didn't really know what any of them were...so note to self - he acts professional in a lot of places.
