At 72, Jack Howell of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, calls Voices of Migration the best idea he’s ever had—and he has good reason to.

Patricia “Trisha” Wendell of Penn Township, Westmoreland County, has been selected to receive the 2024 AARP Pennsylvania Andrus Award for her efforts to protect the environment.
