a huge supporter of the World Wildlife Federation and took particular interest in protecting wolves and their environment.
In 1977, he was named “Wildlife Conservationist of the Year” and awarded a statue by President Ford in the Rose Garden. The statue is proudly displayed at his Flint Hill farm, his favorite place.
The Wrights bought land and built their farm, Horizon Lodge, in 1962. They were active members of Rappahannock County, an area that Mr. Wright referred to as “God’s Country.” They spent many of their happiest times there with their family, attending the Flint Hill Carnival and various horse events, including the Virginia Hunt, which Mr. Wright rode on “Big Red,” one of his two beloved horses.
They are survived by one daughter, Marilyn Batty of Alexandria and a granddaughter, Amber Tolchard who lives in London.
The Wrights were fantastic parents and grandparents who treasured their family, friends, farm and the countryside. They will be greatly missed.
They are buried in the Flint Hill Methodist Church cemetery.
