Memorial Celebration

Please join Jeff's family and friends in a memorial celebration Sunday, September 20, 2009 at the Mono Lake County Park in Lee Vining, beginning at 1:30pm

Jeff always loved a good gathering! Bring your stories and memories to share, and special Jeff mementos (pictures, poems, items) to display. He also enjoyed good food, so there will be a picnic on the grass or under the shade of the cottonwoods afterwards followed by some good socializing and play. Some food and drink will be provided, but if you are able, please bring a potluck dish, dessert, or bounty from the garden to share. Feel free to bring beer and wine if you’d like. Don’t forget musical instruments, binoculars, Frisbees and other toys. In keeping with his desire to make the smallest footprint, carpool if you can, bring your own table service if possible, along with blankets and lawn chairs.

Many people have asked about making a donation in Jeff’s name to one of the many organizations he championed. A special fund to continue his work with peregrine falcons has been established by the Yosemite Fund. Other groups include Yosemite Institute, Yosemite Association, Yosemite Fund, Mono Lake Committee, Peregrine Fund, and Point Reyes Bird Observatory. He also was active in the peace movement and supporting sustainable agriculture.
