The Big Muddy
rs. Urich and I have participated in several Missouri River cleanup events over the years. Several of these events were sponsored by the Missouri River Relief, a Conservation Federation affiliate and an organization that engages individuals and communities along the Missouri River. A memorable river cleanup was an early fall 16-mile canoe float north of Jefferson City that Mrs. Urich and I did together.

Mrs. Urich naturally dressed for looks rather than practicality and admittedly, she looked good as she always does. Her hair and makeup were perfect. She obviously would be best dressed of all the trash pickeruppers. I knew there would be trouble in the morning at home before we left for the canoe trip when she donned her outfit highlighted with light blue pants and presented herself to me for compliments on her look. I praised her choice of clothing profusely without mentioning any hint of the conditions on the river that she could encounter.
