Copy of letter received

On August 3, Joseph W. Zarzynski, Underwater Archaeologist and Executive Director of Bateaux Below, Inc., received a letter dated July 29, 2009 from First Lady Michelle Obama and the White House recognizing the “Volunteers of Bateaux Below, Inc.” as a recipient of a “Preserve America Steward” designation.  According to the Preserve America web site, Bateaux Below and its volunteers were one of only 2 recipients nationwide of this prestigious recognition.  The underwater archaeology and historic preservation not-for-profit corporation was also the only group from New York state recognized by the federal award.  The honor recognizes Bateaux Below and its volunteers for their exemplary volunteer efforts caring for the historic resources in Lake George.  The research team has spent the last 22 years studying the lake’s shipwrecks and implementing programs that promote historic preservation of these finite cultural resources.

The “Preserve America Steward” award recognizes the efforts of Bateaux Below’s 11 volunteers: Dr. Russell Bellico, Bob Benway, Vince Capone, Terry Crandall, John Farrell, Steven C. Resler, Peter Pepe, Paul Cornell, Elinor Mossop, Dr. Sam Bowser, and Joseph W. Zarzynski.

Preserve America is “a federal initiative that encourages and supports community efforts to preserve and enjoy” the nation’s “priceless cultural and natural heritage.”

The First Lady serves as the Honorary Chair for Preserve America.  The First Lady’s letter thanked Bateaux Below’s volunteers for all that they do “to care for our Nation’s important historic resources.”  The Preserve America Stewards website features a description of Bateaux Below’s volunteerism.

We can’t think of anybody more deserving of an award of this honor than the people of Bateaux Below. Congratulations to you all!
