I've know Lynn Higgs for many years. He was supportive of Utah Space Association efforts to commemorate the Moon landings, plus have a vision for our future in space. He was on a Utah Space Association/National Space Society phone tree to contact our congressional delegation on space issues. Unfortunately we haven't had the phone tree activated recently due to IRS First Amendment restrictions on non-profit corporations. He once told me that people would ask him if he had any connection to the Higgs Bosen. His shows at the U of U Physics Department were very interesting and enlightening. Age 68 is too young to pass away in my opinion. He will be missed. ----- Original Message ----- From: utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Thu, 05 Mar 2015 19:09:59 -0500 (EST) Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 145, Issue 4 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner@mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."
