That's fantastic news Tony. Worthy recipients.
My memories of Gerald also include his lights and unfortunately once when he readjusted my polar alignment by tripping over my mounts leg. I do remember one night when he was fiddling live on the field with the soldering iron and he fell over one of his own cables backwards. We all were extremely concerned for him and rushed to his aid . But in a calm and gentle voice he assured us he was ok and continued on. His lights were of supernova standard candle, and you knew when he left the field . He was a fantastic bloke who genuinely had a heart of gold and a hutch with everything including the kitchen sink. He did repair one of my dew heaters one evening after my 1000 oaks dew heaters became a 750 be oaks. Quite Simply he was missed on the field when he could no longer attend astrofest.
