Hi Dennis, Gene and Tweeters,

I, too, am stunned by the loss of Patrick. Words cannot express it.

WOS has a Young Birders' Fund, to which some money from the sale of
the "Birder's Guide to Washington" goes and to which every WOS member
can make a donation when they renew their membership (or at any other
time, for that matter). Now might be a very appropriate time for a donation.

I am the chair of the WOS Young Birders' Fund Committee. I think
naming a special scholarship in Patrick's name is a wonderful idea.

The Young Birders' Fund Committee is in the process of drawing up
guidelines for who and what types of projects can qualify for money
through the fund. We will discuss a special scholarship in Patrick's name.

My very sincere condolences to Ruth. Patrick was a very special
birder and person. We will all miss him.

Denny Granstrand
