Many years later, I still miss my 1st "Song Brother". Marvin and Geoffery have gone on to join you, making my world ever smaller. I hope to visit around another campfire someday with all my friends, and relive the amazing stories of our explorations and adventures around the world. Keep an eye out for "Dr. Burton" we talked about you together for many years. Watch out for and over me Gonzo.Oui, Oui.....Your Song Brother , Gonzo.

Prayers your way everyday. Nature and outdoor activities still consume some of my day. Thank you for teaching me to see the world around me. Donna Kirchhoff

Miss you greatly Gonzo, my life in Alaska is not the same without you.

The thought of you crossed me today. As I look back and reflect I am honored to have met such an amazing man. Thanks for being my friend. Miss you :)

I hope you and my other Song Brother Marvin have been reunited around a campfire somewhere in the Cosmos my dear friend(s).
Now I have an angel for each shoulder.
Keep an eye out for me!

Difficult to add any more to what has been written about you Ollie. Never at a lack for words though, I marvel there are so many constant reminders of your influence and "stamp" upon those who were fortunate to know you. Your legacy continues to thrive and expand. We were the fortunate ones who shared in the light of your brilliance. I have yet to encountered anyone as influential as you in awakening an awareness of the world around them. May your light continue to blaze. You are...

Ollie, I spread some of your ashes on the top of Vail Mountain a couple weeks ago. I recalled our trip in March 1970 skiing all ver Colorado with you, me, Bill Sauter and Gary Davidson. Thanks for tuning me on to downhill skiing, you were a generous ski instructor. The wind and snow were howling as your ashes drifted toward the back bowls, it's was a great spot to celebrate you. It was the last run of the day, and I flew down the hill thinking of you and how you would have loved this run....

At a loss for words. You are constantly on my mind, Glenn. And yes you taught me most of what I know about plants, and birds. You made the natural world an integral part of my life. I just wish you had stuck around to enjoy it more together. The Bard owls have been cooking for each other lately. Sad time this week. Miss you. Donna

Think of Ollie a lot. Every time I pick up binocs, look at a bird book, work on my photo project, talk to Geoff, and many other things, I remember the great times we have together. Tommy lives in Kalamazoo close to Kleinstuck (sp?) preserve, and when we are there I remember vividly the first warlbers he taught us. Man, did he have a tremendous effect on our future. Great guy. One of the many who made a difference to the lives of so many. I love you old buddy. Thom
