Hi,
Gary Kronk's excellent web site and book credits the discovery of the
June Lyrids to S. Dvorak (California, USA) and F. W. Talbot (Cheshire,
England).

Fred Talbot, who was a teenager at the time of the discovery in 1966, is
now a well know television broadcaster in the north west of England
where I live. Fred still has a keen interest in astronomy.
Do any of you know anything of the June Lyrids co-discoverer,
Californian S. Dvorak?
If you're interested, here's a couple of picture of Fred
