I was reading Alan's biography on Amazon while looking up one of his books. Very impressive. ASSNE is fortunate to have him come and speak on several occasions. https://www.amazon.com/Sky-Catalogue-20 ... oks&sr=1-1 When you get to the Amazon site, scroll down a bit.

Mike,
I was just doing a cleanup/ rearrangement of my bookshelf ( It's called a Corona Clean :D ), and lingered over Starlight Detectives for a bit.
Great book. Great Guy.

Hope you are doing ok!
