Two days ago, the NYT had an obit for one Huntington Curtis:
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/nytimes/obituary.aspx?pid=159100085#fbLoggedOut
It caught my eye because the picture of Curtis showed him taking a sight with a mid-century Plath sextant. Then, reading the obit, I couldn't help but wonder whether someone on the list knew this remarkable man.
I won't take up space here copying the obit, but I recommend that if you are curious, do read it.
