My friend, Marc Keane, just established this memorial website in honor of his dad, early CLO sound-recording pioneer, Peter Keane, who passed away recently--just a days shy of his 104th birthday. Peter was an undergrad at Cornell, and a student of Arthur Allen, and helped develop the parabolic dish for bird-sound recording. Peter was later an assistant to the amazing photographer Margaret Bourke-White, and was employed on the sets of both Gone With the Wind, and The Wizard of Oz. A life well lived!
This note from his son Marc, who lives locally. ********************* On Friday, February 7th, 2014, my father, M. Peter Keane, passed away after having lived a full and very long life. He was just a week short of his 104th birthday. To celebrate the many chapters of his life, we have built a website that records through photographs some of the many things he did and the people he knew. I hope you will take a look and enjoy some time walking down Peter's memory lane. For those of you who have stories of Peter you would like to share, you will find a page on the site where we are collecting short anecdotes. Please feel free to contribute yours. Peter had requested that in lieu of flowers, gifts could be made to Cornell's Laboratory of Ornithology, of which he was a life-long supporter. There is more detailed information on the website as well. The memorial website can be seen here: http://www.mpeterkeane.net Marc Keane -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
