This will be of interest to those who have enjoyed the hospitality of the Paton's yard in Patagonia, AZ: Subject: Re: Marion Paton, Patagonia, AZ From: Robin Baxter <baxterrobin AT HOTMAIL.COM> Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2009 09:49:08 -0700 Hello all, It is with a sad heart that I inform you that Marion Paton has left this world. She passed away yesterday, Saturday, August 29, 2009. Condolences can be sent to the family at P.O. Box 887, Patagonia, AZ 85624. I will use this listserve as a means of keeping everyone informed as to the subsequent accessibility of the property. Consider it open as always for the time being. Please do not inquire of the family as to the future of Paton Birder Haven. Everything in its time. See ya, Robin Me again - having just visited the Paton's residence for the first time in July, I can attest to how wonderful a place it is. While Mrs. Paton no longer lived there (Robin Baxter was renting the place from her,) it still retained a genial, welcoming vibe. I envy those of you who were fortunate enough to have met the Patons while they were still with us.
