I'm sorry to report that one of our long-term members, and a truly great
person, has passed away. This past Wednesday, Tony Koella died.
Just this past year, Tony was awarded the Tennessee Ornithological Society
Distinguished Service Award for his outstanding contributions towards the
preservation of natural wildlife habitats and conservation efforts.
A memorial service will be held at New Providence Presbyterian Church in
Maryville, Saturday, March 4th at 3:00 p.m.
While a long-term illness made it difficult for him in recent years, the last
couple weeks were extra special as he and Mary Laura French, a dedicated
friend for many years, married just two weeks ago. It made me very happy to
hear this, and I know Tony must still be smiling because of her :-)
I am scheduled to lead a field trip for KTOS tomorrow at that time, but plan
to attend the service. I mention this here so that anyone who intends to go on
the field trip but would also like to attend the service may contact me and we
can try to ride together.
I do have someone to meet the group at 3:00 in west Knoxville, and to lead
them to Cades Cove where I will eventually join you.
We will have a moment of silence in Cades Cove in honor of Tony.

Knoxville, TN
