John,
Thank you so much for sending out the very sad news.
If you get any updates on funeral arrangements or visitation, I would
greatly appreciate it.
AJ was a great help to me when I first became involved in bird watching
back late in 2004. Additionally, she was an incredible support to me when
I became VP under John Rutenbeck and then was blessed with being the
President a year later.
Ann will be remembered for her selfless service to the IOU from way
before I became involved right up to the end. Iowa birders and
conservationists are better off today due to her unceasing dedication.
Even knowing quite a bit about the IOU history and its great leadership
over its history, her dedication and often thankless hard work on IOU
Website, I cannot imagine anyone else who has given more hours to the IOU
than Ann Johnson.
May she rest in Peace. Please keep her family in your prayers.
God Bless you all.
