Vale David Siems

Sad to hear this!

I only met David once, though we corresponded through this list a  
bit.  Just after we moved to Northern Tasmania, I went to visit David  
in Devonport - on bird-related matters - and he generously gave me  
quite a number of bird books.  He was preparing to move back to the  
mainland, and had many books he wanted to take with him, but these  
ones he said I could have.  I wouldn't have said he looked well, but  
he never spoke of illness, and certainly didn't let on his illness  
was terminal.
A generous man whom I only met once, but whose passing I was very sad  
to hear.
