>> Hi All-
>>
>> Valerie Goff, a long-time TAAA fixture before her husband Bob passed,
>> died this
>> evening peacefully at home after a 7 month battle with lymphoma. At
>> the Grand
>> Canyon Star Party, she revelled in serving as some combination of den mother
>> and campground hostess. She pointed out to me just this last week that she
>> didn't know beans about astronomy, but was a groupie for the nerdy types who
>> did! After Bob died she established a "Bob Goff Lecture in Optics" at the
>> Riverside Telescope Makers Conference, sponsoring several well known and
>> popular talks at the weekend meeting over the last 8 years. We were all
>> fortunate for knowing her. Services are pending - I'll post the
>> details when I
>> know them...
