I too have long admired Roger Tory Peterson. We contemplated naming our
son after him 25 years ago. I finally got to see him in person at the Fort
Collins ABA convention, where he gave one of the evening lectures. He also
autographed a beginning birding book to our now 8 year old son, who is just
about old enough to begin to understand that signature on the title page.
Met him again at the Minot convention where he gracioulsy agreed to pose for
a photograph. I used the pop-up flash on my camera. He said "your'e going
to get red-eye." Curiously, there was not a sign of red-eye in the photograph!
