In Memorial: Joel Duncan
We of the Rocky Mountain Eagle Research Foundation (RMERF) have very sadly lost another staunch and long time member of our organization and observer cadre. Joel Duncan was tragically taken from our midst on 14 September 2021. He was a “Charter Member” of RMERF, a capable and enthusiastic observer in the field and a good friend. As a token of appreciation for his long time and helpful support, he was awarded a RMERF “Certificate of Appreciation” in February, 2020. We will always remember his desire to participate in RMERF activities and always with a smile. Joel, we miss you already.”
