Mike Robinson is the Supervisory Ranger for the USACE at Enid Lake and will present a program on Enid Lake's History from its beginning in 1947. Referring to himself as an "Old Park Ranger," Mike Robinson can tell more "tales" about Enid and can relate more of Enid's history than most people, having worked with the Corp since 1972. Mr. Robinson has worked on local historical projects including Ford's Well and has written numerous articles on the lake's construction and the families present on the Enid land before construction began. These 18 articles won the notable Howard Crittenden National Interpreters’ Award. If you and your family enjoy the many opportunities Enid provides and would like to learn more about a lake that celebrated its 50th birthday in 2002, then come to the NMFH Visitor Education Center on June 2nd at 2:00 p.m. This is a program you definitely do not want to miss!
