February 1968 (age 68)

Oil is discovered at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, setting the stage for a long environmental fight. Citizens groups have recently received Surpreme Court permission to enter into lawsuits on behalf of the environment, and the fight to stop the Alaska Pipeline will be one of the first major lawsuits. Next month Sigurd will advance from vice president to president of The Wilderness Society, and the pipeline fight will become a major expense and source of much discussion and worry.
