i am very sad to report the passing of long time KTOS member Boyd Sharp..Boyd 
was a great friend to many birders around our area and will be greatly missed 
in the birding community..he died yesterday the 29th after a long illness..on a 
personal note,Boyd and I spent a lot of time birding and doing Christmas 
counts,he always wanted to get it right when identifying birds.He was a great 
mentor to myself and many others..services are pending..check the Knoxville 
newspaper for details..we now have lost two great birders and personalities 
with passing recently of Nancy Tanner and now Boyd..Boyd would want those who 
knew him to"always remember to look up".. as he told me many,many 
times..goodbye my dear friend
