Vale Les Dalrymple
I received word today that Les Dalrymple has died today in his sleep.
He was very ill with a return of the cancer that he fought a few years back. I want to express my condolences to his family and friends at this time.
I met Les during the 2009 solar eclipse tour to China. I found him to be a likable rouge over the years since. We would often debate a variety of topics including, astronomy and US and Australian politics. I did not always agree with his opinions but I always enjoyed his intellect and knowledge. He will be sadly missed in the astronomical community.
