subscribers will fondly remember</span> Dan
Victor and Hal Opperman as the
original masterminds of the Tweeters
listserv (launched in approximately
1992). A quarter of a century
later, under Hal’s tutelage, I was
brought in as a new administrator
(in mid-2019). And in October 2024
with deepest thanks to him, we let
Hal step down ("out of the
wheelhouse" as he likes to say).
But not before we recruited our
newest member of Tweeters
management, Doug Santoni, who it is
my pleasure to introduce officially.
Doug has already become an integral
part of managing<span

and insights to the full range of
"opportunities" and many
satisfactions of administering
Tweeters as we exchange
information and commentary on
birds and birding. </span></div>
