The story calls to mind my losing a sentimental valued Peterson Texas guide.
Vic Emanuel, Dennis Shepler and I were returning from our first trip to
southern Mexico in 1969. We had an exciting trip with a touch and go incident
or two and were on our way home. We made a final stop in Edna Texas. It was
late and we were a bunch of young kids headed home. We pooled our money after
our last gas stop and managed to buy 2 cups of coffee and one slice of pie in a
little café. We reminisced about the trip and I made a couple of notes in that
old Peterson Guide. We got up and left to get home a bit after midnight. It
wasn't until the next day that I missed it. I couldn't even call the place
because we had no idea of what the name of the little place was where we had
stopped.
Fortunately I had other notes about most things but I sure hated to lose that
first Peterson. It had been my bedtime companion for many years and I have
always missed having it.
My condolences to you Rob.

Subject: [texbirds] Lost Field Guide
Greetings everyone.
I was birding Pedernales Falls SP yesterday and lost a field guide. It was a
first edition Sibley with the green zippered weather covering. I know this is
a long shot however if anyone hears of this being found I'd appreciate a heads
up. It's very worn (the binding busts out in the icterid section), however has
a ton of sentimental value.
Thanks,
Rob Hardway
