birder and I talked about me taking ownership of his boxes after his death so I could keep his clues up to date, retire missing boxes, check on the local boxes, receive comments from people who visited his boxes as to what they found, etc. Unfortunately, we never got around to formally sending some sort of request to AQ for that to be done, so I don't know whether I will be able to adopt the boxes. Informally adopting and maintaining will of course be done by everyone who knows him - but to actually manage the clues and status at AQ one has to assume ownership. I've adopted many boxes in our area via LBNA, but AQ does the adopting thing a little differently. I'll probably talk to Ryan one of these days and see if having permission from birder's family would be enough. I'm the only person who actually talked to birder about it as far as I'm aware, and I wish now we had talked to Ryan together before birder began to deteriorate to the point where it was too late. Believe
me, I've thought a lot about it, because untended letterboxes can become trash at some point, and nobody wants that.
