I, too, had a good relationship with Peter Anderson, when I worked with him at Pittsburgh's original Buhl Planetarium in the late 1980s. I had gotten back in touch with him via this list-serv, over the last few years.

I had not heard of his passing before this. I Googled death notices, but there are just too many Peter Andersons.

Eric, do you have a link to an obituary or death notice for Peter?
