[Bill Grigsby <wgrigs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great summary of a great week. I got many notes of high praise from 
birders from across Tennessee about the TOS Spring Meeting in Bristol. 
They went to great places to bird --- including Waldo Miles and the La 
Quinta --- we had catbirds and grosbeaks in the pines there!   I want to 
add that Ron Harrington  was the lead on selecting the  motel. I was 
really pleased with that site  with the  trees around it and being 
situated on a hill above the interstate, I don't think that I have been 
to a better looking interstate motel. They were also very complimentary 
of the meeting facility and arrangements at Waldo miles.
My thanks to those many members of the Bristol Bird Club for pitching in 
and making the meeting a success. I would like to especially thank 
Janice Martin for the long work on the registration, she and Mary Erwin 
for overseeing the hospitality and snacks for Friday nights reception, 
and Jacki Hinshaw for getting up to her elbows in dirt making the flower 
arrangements for the dinner.
