Celebrating Dr. John Davis

Join us on March 28, 2024 at 6:00 pm at Sundance Books and Music, 121 California Avenue, for a short program on the history of Lahontan Audubon Society in honor of our 60th anniversary. LAS was founded in December 1963 by Reno physician Dr. John M. Davis, UNR Biology Professor, Dr. Fred “Fritz” Ryser, and Reno High math teacher Marge Sill. The last of the LAS founders, John M. Davis, M.D., died on May 3, 2023, at the age of 95. An avid reader and life-long learner, John amassed a large collection of books. After his death LAS received his collection of bird books from his widow, Rena Davis. In his memory, we are honored to partner with Sundance Books by making the Davis collection available for sale. Proceeds will go to the continued support and mission of the Lahontan Audubon Society.
