Forest was the 20th President of the MOU in 1961 and 1962. He was one of
the first to serve 2 years. Since that time serving 2 years is more common
but it wasn't in those days. We also remember that he had spent some time
bird banding but somebody else will have to fill us in on that.

HI,
I realize that not everyone may have seen this initial posting, which came
thru only on mnbird, and may be confused by my posting regarding Forest
Strnad. I am forwarding that posting now.
Thanks,

This came in last night from the denomination which Forest served all of his
life. I spoke with my secretary this morning about her remembrances of
Forest and his birding activities were high on her list of things she
remembered him for. He served the church I am now serving in the late 1940
and early 50's. Peace be to his memory.
