Hargrove Annual Report for 2002
Our 25th Year for these “Christmas Letters”

That’s right! Our first Christmas Letter was written in 1977 from Irvine , California. By 1983, we found that getting it all done by Christmas was quite an undertaking, so we switched to sending it out in January. In 1991, we changed the name to the current Annual Report.

This year featured no birding expeditions to exotic foreign destinations as we stayed put for a long-anticipated wedding.
