. I hope it OK to pass this one from another forum....Quoting. I personally have never met the fellow that I recall and nor do I have anything in the way of details to add. But if so, it is sad news indeed. "It is with great sadness that I inform you that Steve Gross passed away this weekend. Steve's Sister called me this morning to ask me to let his birding friends know, but she had very few details. All we know is that he passed away in his sleep this weekend. I will post information as soon as I get it." ********************************************************************** Brush Freeman 503-551-5150 Cell http://texasnaturenotes.blogspot.com/ Finca Alacranes., Utley,Texas Edit your Freelists account settings for TEXBIRDS at //www.freelists.org/list/texbirds Reposting of traffic from TEXBIRDS is prohibited without seeking permission from the List Owner
