We are sad to announce the passing of Ed Human, Reservation Director from 1970-1975. Human oversaw the enormous 1972 Capital Development Campaign that not only brought permanent Program Director Cabins, Trading Post building, and Health Lodge, but resulted in the construction of Camp Craig. Human left Middle Tennessee Council and Scouting with the retirement of Council Executive Ward Akers in 1975. The following is the obituary from the TheTennessean.com.
