Hallo Freunde,
Ron Broadbent ist am 24. April im Alter von 80 Jahren verstorben. Viele von
uns kennen ihn aus der Zeit, als er Sekretär der AMSAT-UK war und sich
spezielle für die die Finanzierung von P3D eingesetzt hat. Verdienste hat er
sich auch um die Organisation des AMSAT-UK Colloquiums erworben.
Wir haben einen guten Freund verloren, den wir in guter Erinnerung behalten
werden.
73,
Reinhard
