Happy Birthday DianaR.  Miss seeing you on the Falcon Watches.

Enjoy your day!

Kathy O just volunteered!  Thanks Kathy.

Obviously the hardest part will be gathering information from the early years with Mariah & Cabot-Sirocco.  I've started sending emails to the folks that were running the old Kodak Birdcam way back then.  Hopefully we'll be able to get some pics/stories and detail from those early years.

A couple years ago, I actually sat down for a nice conversation with Mary Ann Giglio, George Fisher's administrative assistant, and had her write up the story of Mariah's arrival.  She also wrote up the story of George's first encounter with a young fledgling, pretty funny, and what happened to Maxine, when she was injured and rehabbed up in Canada.  All pretty neat stuff!  Thanks Mary Ann!   

Thanks Patti and Dale!  We'll know more how to go forward once we brainstorm ideas.

Heard of it, but have never been there.  Says it's 10 miles west of Rochester, between Spencerport and Brockport.

Dot, I to understand penny-pinching.  So your request is something we will definitely look into.  Thanks for sharing your idea.

Her quote won't come through because she didn't use any valid keywords like "falcon" in her tweet.

Should we add Pefa to the list?

Ei is very busy working on the Rochester Falcon Family Tree and she has offered to also help.  Thanks Ei!

Dale,

This is a great idea!  Your pictures and words are an important part of the Rochester Falcon History.  We would be honored to include them.  Thank you.

Carol,

I don't have volunteer time now, but what I do have is DJ dale's falcon raps, which feature a lot of quirky M-K-and-eyas-related events and characteristics of at least a couple of years mid-decade. If any of that can be useful, do remember to let me know. I have that readily accessible. (I also have jpgs of falcon drawings from several years -- the 2005 ones, and maybe more, are actually labeled by name of eyas - but I can't imagine that would be of use in a history)

Actually, they would surely be useful as reminders of events!!  WhenI read them I am blown away at all the stuff I'd forgotten!!


Good idea.

Dale

Thanks Joyce, Ginha and Jeanne!  This is going to be the best Falcon History ever!  WooHoo!   

I'd like to help.

Paul

Awesome!  Thanks Paul!   

Patty - In about a week I was thinking of scheduling a chat with all the volunteers and brainstorming ideas of how we want to handle this.

I'd like to see several sections, one Pre-Mariah, two Mariah/C-S, three Mariah/Kaver, and four Archer/Beauty.  Each section would have their own history, stories, pictures, maybe interviews.  There is so much potential here.

I'm hoping a lot of people will volunteer so that each person will have a different task.

Yes!  Karen, you are most welcome!  Thank you.   

Thanks MAK and Donna!   

This is going to be a very big project and lots of volunteers are needed.  I'm talking about the whole history of the Rochester Falcons, not just Archer and Beauty.  This is long overdue.  Please help if you can.

In case Kathy O's tweet doesn't come through, she just tweeted that she had Lady Pefa on the blue bldg. at KP.   

Thanks Aafke.  You are definitely most welcome to help out with this project.
