We were saddened to learn that Jackie King, long term DFO member, trip leader and Ptarmigan Awardee 
is quite ill and after a long struggle is now receiving "comfort care only." She expressed the wish that birders be notified. 
I visited her this morning and left a card on behalf of her birding friends. She is sleeping comfortably.

Cards, letters and visitors are being received at:

Denver Health  room #220
777 Bannock St
Denver, CO   80204

Thanks Joe and Chuck for letting us know.   Laura and I had only made one trip with her to Nebraska to see the sandhill cranes quite a few years ago and it was a fun trip.

Long-time DFO member and trip leader, Jackie King, passed away yesterday, August 11,
at Denver Health. Jackie was held in high esteem for her fortitude and her service to the 
birding community. She will be missed.
If I find out about any memorial service or other information, I will post it here.

Joe Roller, Denver

Joe, Please let us know of her memorial service if you have that information. She is struggling no more. Rest in peace, Jackie.
