Leni, EDian (also, sadly, gone) & ? Cindy?.
Leni & Cappy at theCape May hawk watch.
Leni counting the contributions to our take-out dinner at Lewes. According to my date stamps these were taken in 2003, but I'm not sure the Cape May & Lewes photos are from the same gathering.Our feisty Kestrel has flown, but such fond memories remain. I joined the BirdChat within the first year of getting my first computer, Leni was the host. Her enthusiasm lured me into going to the 2nd annual Cybirder's gathering in Lewes, DE. In those days there were warnings all over about being wary of actually meeting people you only knew online. Ax-murderers, wierdos & flakes. With that in mind I convinced my non-birding, DH to accompany me. What a blast, such fun, a whole new group of far-flung friends! Leni even pointed out my life Kestrel on a wire. That was 1996. I still have all the programs. Leni was the glue that held the group together, she was the driving force behind trying new places, going ever further afield, Cape Cod, Plum Is. & finally Texas. DH & I did the Texas jaunt. It is so hard to believe that that trip was the last for our Kestrel923.
Every Kestrel on a wire will forever bring back memories of Leni.
