I was shocked and saddened yesterday to hear of the untimely death of Dale Ireland who periodically posted messages here on Seesat-L. "Dr. Dale" was helpful to me on those occasions when the Shuttle was due to cross the US en route back to Florida . . . his observations of the plasma trail that the Shuttle left behind in its wake as well as the double sonic booms that could be heard even from out over the Pacific Northwest helped me in my composing my stories for SPACE.com. He was an assiduous amateur astronomer and an active eclipse observer as well. http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2012/apr/27/friends-mourn-dentist-astronomer-a nd-dale RIP -- joe rao _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
