(meteorobs) With sadness . . . Dale Ireland

[Skywayinc at aol.com]

I was shocked and saddened yesterday to hear of  the untimely death of  
Dale 
Ireland who since 2004, periodically posted messages here on  meteorobs.  
"Dr. Dale" was 
helpful to me on those occasions when the  Shuttle  was due to cross the US 
en route back to Florida . . . his  observations of the  plasma trail that 
the Shuttle left behind in its  wake as well as the double  sonic booms 
that 
could be heard even from  out over the Pacific Northwest helped  me in my 
composing my stories  for SPACE.com.  He was an assiduous amateur  
astronomer and 
an  active eclipse observer as well.
