With a heavy heart I relate the passing of Emanuel Levine this morning. A stalwart of Long Island birding for more than seven decades, Manny bridged generations of birders and connected us 21st Century birders to the famous names of the pre-War era. His impacts as mentor, editor, compiler, pioneer of world birding, and unforgettable personality will come easily to mind to all who knew him.
Pat tells me that Mickey sounds strong, but then again, she always does. I believe that a service will be held next Sunday, 30 March, and will post more information tomorrow.
