Not Ivory-bill news, but feel I should pass along the sad news that Bill Thompson III, husband of Julie Zickefoose (painter of and writer about IBWOs), father of Phoebe (22) and Liam (19), long-time publisher/editor of Bird Watcher’s Digest, podcaster, author, and music-lover, passed away from pancreatic cancer on Monday at the age of 57.
His last update (March 23/24) on his “CaringBridge” site is here:
Some tributes here:
He'll be deeply missed, but he had a rich, fulfilling, if too-brief, birding life, and spread the joy of birds (and many other joys) to all who entered his sphere.
The world would be a better place if we could all contribute so much cheer in 57 years.
