Person:Norman Knott (3)

Norman was many things to many people, but one tribute to his memory was in his own words, written before such thinking had entered popular awareness.

"The goal of any sound land use program must be the conservation of man through the perpetuation of a primarily beneficial environment."

Henry, Gordon and Norman Knott
