Dear Michael,
Anil Pradhan shared with me your letter about your
personal experience with the terrible fire that has destroyed
Mt. Stromlo. We're all greatly relieved to learn that our
colleagues have all survived, but of course sickened by the
loss of the telescopes and other facilities. On the other
hand, the determination we've seen on the part of the astronomers
and ANU to rebuild is inspiring, and I hope that the US
community can somehow make a substantive contribution to
the effort.
I just wanted to express my relief upon learning that
everyone I know seems to have survived, and to wish you the
very best of luck. You're all in our hearts and in our prayers.
Best always,
Brad
