Thank you Frank for letting us know about Bill's passing. I met Bill in the mid-90's at the Bonney Butte hawk watch and enjoyed knowing him since then. I'll miss running into Bill unexpectedly in out of the way places, his tricked-out-for-camping VW van already parked at a trailhead. I'll miss his photos, videos and short missives sent out on a "very tiny keyboard" from places like Yellowstone, Cape May and all over Oregon. I'll miss his camp-out stew cooked up in a Dutch oven around campfires. I'll miss his quiet nature and friendly smile, always glad to see you and find out what's going on with you; his stories of where he has been and what's next. Thanks for all the great times and memories outdoors Bill, there's a lot of us that will miss you.

He was 70 years young and participated fully in all kinds of outdoor activities with youthful energy and enthusiasm. He made outstanding contributions to natural history research and education in Oregon and nationally. Just yesterday we talked at length on how to improve the Oregon golden eagle nest monitoring project that he contributed to immensely the past four years. We have lost a dedicated champion of the wild, tireless seeker of truth, and sincere and compassionate friend. I'll provide details on memorial opportunities as they develop. If you feel like writing a Bill story, send it to me and I'll see that it becomes part of a memorial collection. - Frank ______________________ Frank B.
