Graeme is a customer and we assisted him with a custom encoder
installation for his mount.
During his couple of visits it gave us the opportunity whilst we worked
to chat about his past career as an optometrist, his retired life,
telescopes and his cancer.
He was very philosophical about the later.
The fact that here he was, working on his telescope with great
enthusiasm and getting on with life spoke volumes.
He telephoned again only recently and we talked about telescopes and
he told me in more detail about the car accident and the events that
followed.
I really like Graeme.
For all of us, our days are numbered. But sad to hear that what days
Graeme has remaining might be counted on as little as a few fingers.
Though I only met him relatively briefly, I suspect he would want us all
not to grieve too much nor to mope. That's the nice thing about
astronomy. You get to look up a lot.
