Hey, Tweets,

Much of this has already been mentioned, but it can't be said enough: Hal's
legacy is amazing! Hal, thanks for your patience and kindness and steady
hand over the years. Tweeters has a well-deserved reputation nationally,
and it's a terrific archive for us locals.



So much history... There was a real live Tweeters picnic sometime during
the '90s. Yes, we cyber birders finally met face to face.



As part of his gift to Pacific Northwest birding, Hal also managed a lot of
the development of BirdWeb https://birdweb.org, a terrific online resource.
(And thanks, JaneH, for the list of accomplishments.)



Hal, thanks for all you've done! It's quite a legacy. Take care and enjoy
your "retirement." Hope to see you in the field!
