[Maine-birds] Re: (Maine Birds) Holding Betty Petersen in the Light

Dear Maine Birders,
 
I was recently told by a friend of the passing of Wayne Petersen's amazing travel companion, Betty Petersen, whom I know has had many relationships with Maine Birders. Betty was so loved by the great global birding community. I am asking Maine birders to hold Betty in the Light  while sending your condolences to Wayne.  Betty was an inspiration to  so many people around the world and in Cuba,  where we continue to make huge strides because of the incredible work Betty has been doing.  Her work will continue because she touched so many of us.  I stand hand-in-hand with the Maine ornithological community in extending our heartfelt thanks to Betty and Wayne's relationship with all of us. 
 
Inspiration and Love of Life are the strong messages that Betty promoted.  My very best to Wayne Petersen. You have friends in Maine. 
 
Cuba was one  focal point for Betty and if we can continue her vision,  it will enhance the Cuban birding culture and bring us together as humans.  I deeply respect both  Betty and Wayne and feel so blessed to have had an opportunity to know Betty. 
 
Peace to you Wayne,
 
Michael
