Leo Maloney, president of the NYS Outdoorsmen Hall of Fame, has announced that Greg O’Hara of Inlet will be one of seven 2013 inductees to the hall of fame.

O’Hara was notified of the honor by his nominating sponsor, outdoor writer Gary Lee.

Lee’s sponsorship letter cited O’Hara’s efforts in organizing and offering training to CASART, the Central Adirondack Search and Rescue Team in June of 2003.

Now in its 10th year, CASART, under O’Hara’s guidance, has grown to become one of the largest search and rescue teams in New York state, as well as the best trained and equipped team.

O’Hara’s nomination was solidified by a series of letters of recommendation by DEC rangers and search and rescue personnel, praising his work as CASART’s founder.

“Greg O’Hara epitomizes what we look for in a Hall of Fame candidate. He is someone who selflessly gives of his time in an effort to improve the outdoor experience and make it safe and enjoyable for everyone,” Maloney said.

The induction ceremony will be held at the Rusty Rail Restaurant on Route 5 in Canastota on Saturday, April 27.
