TexBirders, This one hits pretty hard. Steve and I spent a lot of time together especially in Idaho where we spent many days scouting for Big Days. And there were chase trips to the Valley and many TOS meetings as we both cycled through to the president's role. A real shame as we had more trips planned. Memories that will never happen. Yet another reason to reflect on the briefness of life on earth and all the friends and family we still have with us this Thanksgiving week. My guess he is still ticking off birds for his list - do you call those "after-lifers"?
