We lost a member of the CAI family this week. Nature writer Robert Finch died Monday after a short illness. He was 81.
For more than 20 years, Bob's Cape Cod Notebook essays celebrated life on Cape Cod, especially the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Bob moved to the Outer Cape in the early 70s, and throughout the years held a variety of jobs, including carpenter, museum director, and teacher. But his passion was writing and the natural world.
Bob inaugurated "A Cape Cod Notebook" in the fall of 2005 and leaves behind a legacy of beautiful and insightful nature writing, much of which can be found here.
His was such a passionate voice for appreciating this place that we all share every day, and for calling us always to look at it a little more closely. He was a friend of ours. We are grateful that we have his words and voice still with us. We will miss him.
Our hearts go out to his family and friends.
We are planning an upcoming tribute program to celebrate Bob. We will share more information as it becomes available.
