Dear Ms. Zimmerman,

I would like to thank you and the York County Audubon Society for the June Ficker Memorial College Fund. So far school has been going well for me, and in particular I have found a lot of interest for my terrestrial wildlife and wetland conservation classes. My professor, Dr. Perlut, is very interested in birds himself, and has been banding Savannah Sparrows in Vermont for the last nine years. I hope to work with him this summer conducting bird count surveys along the Saco River. I am also looking forward to taking a class on bird banding, which will be offered in the fall. I am very grateful for the financial aid you have provided for my educational pursuits. I also appreciate the skills and knowledge I have received through working alongside June Ficker last summer. I wish you all the best.

Sincerely, Cory French
