[ATMoB-discuss] Re: [ATMoB-club] Obituary for Martha Hazen

[Eileen Myers]

Dr. Martha Hazen was our guest speaker at the May 2003 ATMoB meeting. The 
minutes of the meeting are in the June 2003 Starfields. I remember that at 
that time Dr. Hazen had just recently retired was enjoying traveling with 
her husband. If I recall correctly, Bob Simcoe missed that May meeting, but 
after reading the minutes of the meeting in Starfields, he contacted Alison 
Doane, then Acting Curator of the Harvard Plate Stacks, now Curator of 
Astronomical Photographs, to discuss and offer his help with digitizing the 
plates.
