Montgomery Bird Club Members,

We received the sad news last  night that Paul Dumont has passed 
away.  His long service as trip  leader and organizer will be sorely 
missed, to say nothing of his  encyclopedic knowledge of birds.   He 
was indeed one of a kind,  and those of us who knew him are grateful 
for that.  Plans for a  memorial are still pending, but will be passed 
along once the family has  made decisions.

To those of you interested in the annual President's  Day Weekend 
trip: it is as yet undetermined whether the trip will go or  not.  It 
is probably best if you notify Helen Patton (301-588-5418,  
) if you would like to go on this trip.  Even if  
you had left a  message for Paul  please call her as we do not  have 
access to his reservation list yet.




Hi all,
 I don't mean to step on toes here, but I just picked up this message  from 
my email, and thought it should be shared with the MDOsprey  community  at 
large, as Paul's life touched those across the state and beyond.
 
Sad news indeed.
