Stewart Udall Dies

Stewart Udall, an elder in a famed political family who led the Interior Department as it promoted an expansion of public lands and helped win passage of major environmental laws, has died at the age of 90.

During his 1961-1968 tenure as interior secretary, Udall sowed the seeds of the modern environmental movement. He later became a crusader for victims of radiation exposure from the government's Cold War nuclear programs.

…

He is survived by six children — Tom Udall, Scott Udall, Lynn Udall, Lori Udall, Denis Udall and Jay Udall — and eight grandchildren. The family said a memorial will be held later this year in Santa Fe.

Rest In Peace, Stewart.
