Carol, I'm really sorry to see that Bob Jennings has passed away. Of course I know about the Oxley center, Bob was very proud of it and we spoke about the area over the years. I think I first met him in 1976. I took him bird watching out on San Juan Island in Washington State in 1985 and I remember what must have been a particularly funny scene when the two of us tried sneaking up on some burrowing owls. He had been ready to spit nails when the chief of interp (a real idiot) took the visiting NAI folks (that's how I knew Bob) on a tour of the park and stopped for the California poppies but went flashing past our rare visitors (Western Meadowlarks). That's why I took him out to look for owls--it helped him cool down a little. :)
