Congratulations Trevor. Well-deserved award for your outstanding work on planetary science.
I knew Arthur very well. He was my astronomy mentor. Berenice passed away when I was a young child and quite a few years before I became interested in astronomy and met Arthur. During my university years, I spent many nights at Mt Tamborine observatory with Arthur and several other young astronomers that he also took under his wing. He was extraordinarily generous with his time for so many of us as we were getting into astronomy. He had a fantastic sense of humour and he led an extraordinary life.
Not so long ago, I told his daughter, Sam, that the fact that I now host friends, mentor, and share my dark skies out here is due in no small part due to her father's influence on me.
Congratulations to you and the BOSS team on the joint award!
