In Memoriam The AAVSO extends its most sincere sympathy and condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the following members, colleagues, and friends who have passed away since the publication of the previous Newsletter.
Bertie Baldwin A long-time and very dear friend of the AAVSO, Bertie was AAVSO'er Marv Baldwin's wonderful wife. It was always a delight to see her at AAVSO meetings, or to speak with her on the phone, when she would patiently track down Marv or take a cryptic message for him.
Jerome (Cheng-Yuan) Shao
Jerome Shao was an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge for 32 years as well as a good friend of the AAVSO. He discovered several minor planets, which he named in honor of his wife and for the Chinese province where he was born. Jerome also played an important role in studying metorites and throughout the 1970's and 80's he served as a link between American and Chinese astronomers during many visits to his native land.
William Whiddon A long-time member and supporter of the AAVSO. |
