It is with heavy hearts that we heard this past week of the passing of Bob McDonald.
Bob and Wendy, his always present spouse, partner, campaigner, have contributed so much to the naturalist community, Halifax and the province over the years, it really cannot be summarized in a few words.
Bob and Wendy were regular participants in NSWFS events, and Bob an organic chemist whose naturalist interests began with birds, became a ‘resident expert’ in lichens and goldenrods.
Our hearts are with Wendy and all of the family. Thank you for sharing truly wonderful and gentle man with so many of us. We live in a better place because of him.
