My great pleasure, Raven. Anything for the cause of natural sounds
from whatever sources are left. And thanks for the kind and
thoughtful words. Much appreciated.

>I just want to say how much I admire Bernie and all of the work that
>he and his lovely wife,
>Cat, do to educate people about the crisis and issues surrounding our natu=
ral

>I also admire all of the rest of you folks, on the list, that are
