Dear Sirs, My wife Bonnie, a long time bluebirder, Died as result of a tragic accident on April 30, 2031. Carolyn Tiller is taking over her bluebird trail. While Iwas a great helper with some of her birding efforts I couldn't carry on as she did. I know Caroline can as she has already shown. If she wants to continue as a subscriber she will contact you directly. By copy I am sending this to her as well as you. Please discontinue your services to Bonnie by this notice. Sincerely, Edwin W Baker, Jr, Bonnie's husband
