Dear Brad, Brian, and Mike,
Last night I saw an areal shot of a burned out telescope dome on CNN
and feared the worst. The accounts in this morning's email of the
complete destruction of the Mt. Stromolo observatory are just beyond
belief. This is a huge loss for all of us. I sincerely hope that you
and your families are safe. Please accept my condolences. An old
friend has passed away in the prime of life.
George Sonneborn
