The Maryland Ornithological Society has lost another giant from within the
birding community.  The death of Dick Kleen occurred July 9, 2008.  Dick was
one of the founders of the Talbot County Chapter of MOS and held the
presidency intermittently for the first several years of the Chapter's
existence.  Later he took a term as State President of MOS.  He inspired
countless birders over the years while teaching in the St. Michaels School
System and was an immediate friend and mentor to everyone who showed
interest in the birds of our region.  His zest for birding continued
throughout his life, though health problems in recent months had severely
decreased his time out in the fields.

A Memorial Service will be held on July 19 at Christ Episcopal Church in St.
Michaels, MD, beginning at 10:00 a.m.
