(meteorobs) Jack Horkheimer 1938-2010

[Bruce McCurdy]

    Thanks for mentioning this, Joe. I'm frankly surprised by how little 
commentary Jack's passing has generated on the various astronomy fora to 
which I subscribe. He was a giant in astronomy outreach, making the 
naked-eye sky more accessible for millions. 34 years, over 1700 weekly 
programs. He will be missed.
