From Bob about our friend and volunteer Charlie. As you know, Charlie Forman passed away night before last. Charlie was a most unique and wonderful person and it’s with great difficulty that I sit down to post this announcement. Charlie put in countless hours manning the controls of the ptz cameras often in very cold working conditions. He also helped me wire cameras and microphones and run electronic tests each year to switch out at the Decorah Eagle nest. He was always calm and wonderful to work with and he took great joy in bringing the Decorah eagles to the world. He was in the shed at all hours and tried to offer a panning session at various times of the day just so folks in all time zones would be able to have extraordinary views. Charlies wife Jolyn worked at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Often Joni and Charlie would be in phone contact during his camera operating. The two of them brought the live feed from the Decorah Eagle Cam to many people at the famous hospital, allowing patients to have Charlie direct the camera at what they wanted to view. I can’t stop tearing up. We will miss our friend. hosting-22883.tributes/obituary/show/Charles-J.-CJ-Forman-101481020 Update: We talked with Charlies family. Memorial donations can be made to the Raptor Resource Project via our paypal account.
