Abstract:

John E. Pechmann, who was chairman of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission from 1999 to 2006, is remembered by his colleagues and friends. Pechmann died of a heart attack on July 15, 2006. Governor Mike Easley said Pechmann “was a dedicated public servant, a strong conservationist, and an advocate for all sportsmen. Under his leadership, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission made the state a better place to enjoy fishing, hunting and recreation.” During his tenure as chairman, the commission's land acquisitions doubled to reach two million acres of managed game lands across North Carolina.
