ATTACKS ON USA
Given the dreadful news reaching us today, I have sent the
following message individually to the following TA contacts in USA:

Dr.Brian Marsden; Janet Mattei; Dave Branchett; John Bortle; James
Bryan; Dr.A.C.Cook; Gareth Williams; Peter Wlasuk.


 ----------------------------------------------------------------
I watched with horror the pictures on the television today showing
the dreadful attacks on innocent American citizens and buildings in
New York and Washington.

I do hope you and your friends and colleagues have not been
directly affected by these atrocities although no doubt the events
must have had a considerable emotional effect on all American
people.

On behalf of myself, my family and all those involved in 'The
Astronomer', we send our sincere condolences at the loss of life in
your country. We will be thinking of you in the days ahead.

Kind regards,
Guy, Anne and family,
Editor, The Astronomer
