I just saw this thread. I will miss him. One of my favorites here. Count me in for contributing to a memorial gift of some sort. ---

I’m in. Perhaps they’d like an outreach exhibit on violetear hummingbirds. ---

I reached out to the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and they gave their enthusiastic assent to the idea of a gift. They suggested we fund a short-term fellowship for a master’s or doctoral candidate to do fieldwork with STRI in Panama (usually). I thought this sounded like a great idea - George had begun with STRI as a research fellow. I said we could probably raise at least $5K (we raised $8K for Jenny’s memorial); they thought this was a good amount. If there is general agreement on the above, I’ll get a GoFundMe campaign going. Let me know. ---
