achievement award

The June meeting of the Bedford Audubon Society was
very special for all in attendance, as we honored John Askildsen for his
lifetime of dedication to
BAS. John Hannan, board president,
presented John with The Audubon Society’s Audubon Birds of America.
This volume displays all 435 of Audubon’s brilliant hand-colored
engravings in exquisite reproductions taken from the original plates of
the Audubon Society’s archival copy of the rare Double Elephant Folio.
John is arguably the youngest of our most senior members, and
will undoubtedly remain as part of Bedford Audubon’s past and future history.
Best wishes, John, in your new home, and a sincere Thank You for your selfless
dedication to Bedford Audubon Society.
