Hi List,
Forgive the semi-off-topic nature of this post, but I have just
learned that Jack Horkheimer has passed away at his home of a
respiratory ailment at age 72.

Jack was a fixture on television during my childhood and he is part of
the reason that I became interested in astronomy (along with Carl
Sagan). It was my interest in visual astronomy (and meteor showers)
that led me to meteorites.
This is a sad day for amateur astronomers, but as Jack used to say -
"Keep on looking up!"
RIP Jack.
Best regards,
MikeG
