And so they were. I had already been interested in satellite-spotting so this kindled an even greater interest. An entusiast that won't be forgotten - but will be missed.<br /><br />Lawrence HarrisLawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06893281812264551468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15164221.post-75175401924590624522016-01-05T23:31:29.844+01:002016-01-05T23:31:29.844+01:00Well written, and thank you for honouring this pio...Well written, and thank you for honouring this pioneer. bert huberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045931444457897611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15164221.post-29007907562126826672016-01-05T17:04:21.998+01:002016-01-05T17:04:21.998+01:00As with Marco, I was late to the game, active in a...As with Marco, I was late to the game, active in astronomy since a teenager, but only discovering the joy of tracking satellites in 2003. Pierre was quick to contact and support me (as were all in the community), and those emails were a treat - informative, challenging, and always strictly Pierre. He will be missed, even by those of us who are building on what he and the other greats started.<br /><br />Brad YoungHAFSNThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692504690958221916noreply@blogger.com
