In the likelihood that all of the remembrances flowing in to the birding center may be compiled and shared with the grieving families, I want to add my personal notes of loss. In this forum of shared interests and reporting there have been hundreds of postings that have added to my enjoyment over the years. Relative recluse that I am, however, very few have resulted in personal exchanges of email or even fewer resulted in face to face meetings. I had the pleasure of the former with "Dr. Bob" a couple of years ago and was looking forward to him dropping in sometime to view our feeder birds from our living room windows. I'm saddened to know now that that will never happen.
And it was decades ago that Bruce contacted me to join him in a birding tour of Augusta Twp one Saturday. I can no longer recall what turned up in some of my favorite haunts east of my then Home in Milan, MI, but I still remember a good afternoon of birding together that day, as well as the long and good service he provided the hundreds of birders who enjoyed our feathered and human friends through <birders...> <mailto:<birders...> in ways we'd never done before!
