--0015175cd5b8d6e11804ae422770 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I agree.We became friends with Purch and Joyce shortly after moving to NS in the early 1980s, they often went birding with us, and were always pleased to see us at NSBS meetings, and vise versa. I know Purch had been Ill for a long time, and missed being able to get out birding. I just tried to send an online condolence, but the funeral home seem to have made it almost impossible to do that, so if anyone has done that successfully, please let me know how.
