Guest guest Posted January 5, 2005 Report Share Posted January 5, 2005 Steve, since we have the birth data, do you have any other information on his life? He's an amateur astronomer? Do you know anything else about him?

Hi Therese, I called him this morning at work on his cell phone and luckily caught him at a good time ( I also had great transits for this). We talked for about 15 minutes and I was able to get the info I did in that timeframe. He works as an appraiser, but that's all I know. Normally astromomers are loathe to even mention the word astrology--but he was very surprisingly open to this. He has four other comets named after him. Best, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
