[sac-forum] Fw: Loss of one of your former members

To all, here is an e-mail from daughter of SAC member Wally Brown. Wally was first, as far as I can remember, Deep Sky Chairman and did much to foster observing. I learned to make eye piece impressions, as did many others, from him. Learned about navigating my way through the Messier Catalog in the Virgo Cluster. How to take notes. 

Wally presented me with the award for observing the Messier Catalog.
Funeral arrangements are listed below and are the same weekend as Five Mile Meadow. If any are able to attend please introduce yourself to Wally's daughter. 

Sincerely,
aj

Dear SAC,
I am sorry to inform you that Wally Brown--a former member of SAC and Deep
Sky Chairman in the late 70s/early 80s--passed away on 5/27/7. He
co-authored the Messier + Marathon List w/ Bob Buckner.

Services will be held 6/16/7 @ St Jerome Catholic Church @ 12:00 PM. The
address is 10815 N. 35th Ave., Phoenix, AZ.

Since astronomy meant so much to Dad, we sincerely hope some of his old
friends from that part of his life will be able to attend his funeral.

Family suggests that in lieu of flowers, any memorial contributions should
be made to the St Vincent de Paul Society or Hospice of the Valley.

Lisa Chestnut (Wally's daughter)
