David thanks for informing us. I met Bob in Dec.1970 in a park in Phoenix. We were both fairly new at birding then. We keep in touch and birded together every time I made it down to Phoenix. In 1977, Bob & I drove from Phoenix to Florida birding, We had such a great time. If you see the family give them my regards.
