[ValleyNature] re Ulli's report on Eagle Watch II Sunday

[James W. Wolford]

Thanks, Ulli, for your report.  You have much more patience than most  
people, I think, since you waited a long time during the first Eagle  
Watch Weekend, too.  In afternoon I was interviewed by the Global TV  
guy, because I was handy in the Hall and Richard Hennigar was not,  
but I haven't had a chance to watch the Global Newscasts to see what  
they showed.  Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
