Terry Heath just died a while back but he didn't leave the state because of the new wave falconry laws, he had other problems. Rich Holz's wife died because of complications of pregnancy, nothing what so ever to do with falconry, the baby lived and now has children of her own. She is a good friend of my daughters. The falconers I know that have left because things were looking to much like what they had come here to get away from left in the mid 70's and most are probably still alive. And some like Ed Pitcher have actually returned. Everyone will die at some point, I'm pretty sure, irrespective of the falconry laws.
