Subject: [BIRDCHAT] Untimely death of Oregon Birder Craig Roberts

It is with great regrets that I am sending this email. I only knew Craig
from a couple of pelagic trips and a couple of ABA events, but I find it very
frustrated that someone who was so giving, likable, and good had to die so young.

Here is the link of the news story:

I just hope that Craig's life was not another life lost to a drunk driver as
implied in the end of the story.

I will cross post some of the other posts that have been made on OBOL that
give more information about the man, by people who knew him better than I did
for I only have a couple pelagic with Craig, but they were enough for me to say
that we, human kind, has lost one of the better persons, who gave back more
than he took from this life.

Find that next lifer for Craig,

John + Irma = 2, we are birders, too.
