P.S. Apologies to both Judy and Jeff if this was triggering with respect to
past trauma.

Hi BOO folks,
Based on the idea that it's always better to consider people as multi-faceted
human beings, this seemed like a good time to share this article, featuring
both Judy Meredith and Jeff Gilligan who have chimed in here.
Please read it, is all I ask. Thanks to the efforts of Judy and Jeff, the
families of the victims received at least a decent settlement from the
cruise-ship line.

Judy has been a good friend of our family for many years, and really a treasure
for Oregon birding, in my view. I've never met Jeff in person, but when I read
this story, I'm reminded that he showed some real human decency in this
instance.
All the best,
Joel
