Smilies Legend
[i]He trained as a photographer in the Army and, after completing his service, worked briefly as a professional photographer. He later combined his love of photography and astronomy working for Meade Telescopes for more than 30 years. Arthur was an active member of the Orange County Astronomical Society, where he served as President. He spent many happy hours in the study of astronomy and space exploration. He was a contributor for the book Go for Launch, an Illustrated History of Cape Canaveral by Joel W. Powell, contributing images for 17 chapters of the book. Many of these images came from his personal printing of negatives from the San Diego Air and Space Museum. Arthur was also a talented painter and, in recent years, became very involved in research and collection of Panama Canal memorabilia. He was active in sports, including participating in basketball leagues in the Orange County area. A celebration of his life will be held in Texas on what would have been his 70th birthday. He often complained of the light pollution in the Los Angeles area and traveled deep into the desert to observe the stars and planets. His ashes will be scattered in the Hill Country near his father's home where the stars always shine bright.[/i]
