["Paul Lind" <pulind@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Jennifer,

Your email brought back a haunting memory from a month before Pierre's 
passing.  On February 6, 2000  Pierre came by my house to use my Foucault 
tester to double-check his measurements on two 12 inch mirrors .  That 
evening we then went observing at  his site near Flatiron where he 
complained about being very cold and not feeling well.  A few days later I 
learned that Pierre had collapsed at his house.

Requiescat In Pace (Rest In Peace).
Paul
