All,
I was reading my e-mail last week, on the 17th to be precise, when I said
to my wife: Andy (Nachbaur) has not posted or responded to anything in
quite a while. Today, upon returning home from a weekend of birding I
discovered the reason for Andy's absence. Wow! Our loss. Heavens gain.
I'm sure he would have a comment about that one!
I too have an Andy folder in my e-mail program. I also have notes and
replies from Andy scattered throughout my bee subfolders. I just finished
re-reading all that I could locate. I consider myself fortunate that I was
able to see the "Old Drone" in action. That I was able to participate in
threads in which he was involved was an honor. He was straight and to the
point. Andy minced no words. I tended to agree with him more often than
not. And yes, his posts were always read first. I will miss him. I may
not have been in the woods when that oak fell, I didn't hear it fall but
can see and feel the void that remains. That is all that I can add as
others have done better at describing our loss than l could. Thanks for all
of your insight, wit etc. You have helped me better understand the bees.
"Now Andy did you hear about this one....."
