[ATM] Howard Moore ATM estate

["Bill Kelley" <flex@commspeed.net>]

ATM list members,

On list and off I have had much correspondence regarding the distribution of 
mirror machines, a 24" and many smaller mirrors, and a seemingly 
astronomical amount of other ATM stuff from my deceased friend, Howard L. 
Moore's estate. Most of it went as a single gift to the Tacoma Astronomical 
Society. Excerpts from their acknowledgement follows:

---"We currently have plans to build a telescope and the 24" mirror will be 
used specifically for that purpose --known as the 'Howard Moore Memorial 
Telescope'--mirror blanks to build other telescopes to be used by the 
general membership--(20 complete telescope optics kits will be used) to 
provide mirror kits to elementary schools around the South Puget Sound 
area".

Computers, cameras, tools, household furnishings, etc., were also given to 
appropriate non- profits. Much remains, but I am still trying to find 
appropriate homes for the remaining ATM stuff.

Thanks to all who sent thoughts of sympathy for the loss of our friend and 
long time telescope maker.

Sic transit gloria mundi,

Bill Kelley
