I have some bad news regarding Steve Aubert, a co-worker of mine who
occasionally posted on tweeters; Steve passed away last week from heart
problems. He had skippered the King County/Metro research boat for many
years, among other things, and he had a great appreciation for the outdoors.
Steve took up birding only in recent years, but with much enthusiasm.
