In Memoriam: Dick Wessling, 1935 - 2010

Dick Wessling, whose career as an active ALPO volunteer staff member spans many years, passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of March 17 after having suffered a stroke several days earlier. He is survived by his wife, Noreen, daughter, Diana, son, David, one grandson Alex, and a sister, Mary. On the night before Dick had his stroke, he was working on a mirror, and then observed with his 10.25" f/8 and 16" f/4 Dobs. It is somewhat comforting to know that Dick's last activities were doing the things he loved most: pushing glass and observing.
