Re:[cayugabirds-l] Ed Hart's Obituary in Ithaca Journal

Being with Ed Hart just made you feel good.  What a wonderful man.  In the
mid '80s I ran a trail run on the FLT with him and a couple of dozen other
runners from Burdett to Ithaca called 'Ed's Ultra', named after him. We
stopped at lunchtime at the top of Connecticut Hill for a lunch arranged by
his wife Jocelyn.  In the years since it was always a pleasure to speak
with him as we occasionally crossed paths.  I'm very happy to have known
him, and saddened by his passing.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Ed Hart's Obituary in Ithaca Journal

2015-10-02 Thread Rob Blye 
A brief story about Dr. Ed Hart with a link to birds of the Cayuga Lake Basin, 
however tenuous. I married the summer between my junior and senior years at 
Cornell. My wife moved with me to Ithaca in September 1971 and was hired as a 
bookkeeper/receptionist at the ophthalmology practice of Drs Hart, Levitt and 
Lempert on Rt 89 northwest of Ithaca. After I graduated with my Wildlife 
Biology degree with a concentration in ornithology, I got a temporary job at 
Babcock Chicken Farm in Trumansburg spreading chicken manure from their egg 
production houses (that is the connection to birds in Cayuga basin). We had one 
car; I dropped her off at the Drs office, went to work and picked her up at the 
end of the day on the return trip to Ithaca. I had to wait for her to finish 
her day as I worked farm hours and usually got to the office before she was 
finished. The first day I went in the waiting room and started to read a 
magazine. After 10 minutes the office manager came out of her office and said, 
"Mr Blye, you must leave the building, Your odor is driving the patients away." 
I was covered in a fine spray of liquified manure and its odor to which I had 
become habituated to so I did not smell it but everyone else did. I have fond 
memories of Dr. Hart driving his Porsche 911 to and from the office.

Hi all, 

I knew Ed through being his and his neighbors Dobsons land steward for FLLT for 
several years. Then he also became Cayuga Bird Club member. He was the one who 
taught me about peripheral vision and told me mine was excellent as I could see 
the birds lot more quickly. He was one of the nicest persons I have met in my 
life.
