COVER STORY
20 Love, Nature and Happiness
Loving nature is more than an academic exercise for Lavell Merritt, Jr., a Texas A&M University Recreation, Park and Tourism Sciences doctoral student. He first met his wife, Andrea, on U Street, NW in the nation’s capital after spending 15 days fighting fires in Utah as a National Park Service ranger. The native Washingtonian would later discover that his future wife also has an appreciation for nature (when they met she worked for the Audubon Naturalist Society as an environmental educator). Today, he has turned his love for the outdoors into his profession.
