Within a ten-day period, two long-time birders with the Nashville Chapter
TOS have died--Betty Richards on April 18 and Margaret Mann on April 27.
Each enjoyed birds on the level they wished--feeding birds, talking about
their sightings, and taking birding trips out of state and to other
counties. They both enjoyed all aspects of nature, including wildflowers,
trees, and hiking and biking. The older, or should we say "seasoned,"
Nashville birders will remember Betty and Margaret, going on trips with
them, chatting about birds, and having fun.  We are two of those "seasoned"
birders. Betty was buried at Spring Hill Cemetery in Nashville. She was a
delight, always finding a positive side to all situations. Margaret, at her
request, was cremated with her ashes to be scattered at her long-time home
along the Cumberland River, which was destroyed in the May 2010 flood.
Margaret always had a dog, a black Labrador. Her current  treasure, Dolly,
is being cared for by Steve Ward, Park Manager at the Radnor Lake State
Natural Area. Steve in recent years provided Margaret transportation to
Radnor to enjoy the birds, which she was very grateful. For those of us who
knew them, thanks for the memories.
