Re: [mou-net] Bob Holtz Obit
Thanks Michelle for sending this out. Dr. Holtz was my advisor at CSP. I attended from 1981-85. He got me started with birding when I took his field biology class in 1983 and then a couple years later took his ornithology class. I’ve been a birder ever since. He was a wonderful teacher and advisor. He helped me get my degree. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Thanks again!

[mou-net] Bob Holtz Obit
I am sorry to share the news that longtime MOU member Bob Holtz passed away this past Saturday, April 20. Bob was an MOU past-president, youth birding mentor, and 2002 recipient of the Thomas S. Roberts Award. In 2007, he created and funded the MOU's "Biology Bob Binocular Fund" for young birders. Many of you may also have known Bob through St. Paul Audubon, in his role as an Anoka County Parks naturalist where he hosted the "Birdwatching with Bob" podcast, or through one of the myriad other ways in which he contributed to Minnesota's birding community.

[mou-net] Salt Lake Weekend carpooling thread
Please do not reply all to this email! Reply only to trweave...@live.com I wanted to start a conversation with participants of Salt Lake Weekend to encourage carpooling to the event.

Even if you aren't interested in carpooling out to the event, it would be highly encouraged that participants be open to carpooling on the day of to help your guides with the logistics of leading a caravan of vehicles. *Reminder, please do not reply all to this email!
