Now, there's a classic
Robert and myself share the same birthday, but that's as close as I'll ever get to being 1/4 the astronomer that he was. So sad that his life ended in the way it did. He deserved much more.
Talking about classics, I once owned a copy of an early edition of the "Field Guide to the Stars and Planets" by Donald Menzel. Unfortunately, it was stolen, along with a lot of other stuff about 6 years ago.
