<div dir="ltr">I am new to this group and don’t know how many of you knew Vivian Gross. But I thought I should share that she passed away this past Wednesday, December 13th.
<span style="text-decoration: none; display: inline !important; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
She was ill for just a very short time, and died of pneumonia.</span> I met Vivian at Juanita Bay Park in 1994-ish. She was a volunteer park ranger and I followed her around during her shift. We were joined by several other new birders. She, along with
Will Osborn taught us to locate, identify and appreciate the many birds in the park. We became friends and over the years shared many birding adventures, frequently in the Skagit. I know that up until the last few years she volunteered at many birding events
and took many classes. So I imagine she is well known.</div>
