It is with deep regret to announce the passing of Gene Cardiff, essentially the father of birding in the Inland Empire, last night at the age of 96. Gene was not only San Bernardino County Museum bird curator, but teacher, mentor, conservationist, and friend to so many people throughout southern California. There are so many stories to be told about Gene, some from over 50 years ago, that I will leave this thread open to whomever may want to express their appreciation of his wonderful life. Brad Singer
