Subject: [HASTRO-L] The end and re-start of the Solar Eclipse Mailing List
Dear all,
When I started with the Solar Eclipse Mailing List in 1997 I never thought or hoped it had a live span that long. I never hoped it was such a success and I never dreamed of bringing so many amateurs and professionals, all solar eclipse enthusiasts, together.
Of course I never thought it would create such an amount of work, such a commitment and what a responsibility. Due to the activities on the Solar Eclipse Mailing List, the Solar Eclipse Newsletter and of course the Solar Eclipse Conferences, I had to postpone or cancel my own observations, my own projects and sit in the background where others were exchanging solar eclipse related topics.
Time has come to handle it over and sit in the front line of discussions, exchanges and observations. My good friend Michael Gill is willing to take over the Solar Eclipse Mailing List. Please subscribe to the mailing list at
SEML-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com<mailto:SEML-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com>
We wish Michael all the best and thank him in advance to continue what we have started.
The last issue of the Solar Eclipse Newsletter will be released by the end of this week and we are looking forward for those whom want to continue the archive or data base we started in 1996.
I would like to thank Jan van Gestel, my twin partner of the Solar Eclipse Mailing List for all the work and grieve I gave all those years. We were a perfect tandem and of course we remain friends and observers.
Last but not least I wish to thank my lovely wife Joanne whom stood by all the time, in good and in bad times. She was always there for me and was a support which no one can subscribe. Thank you my dearest wife!!!
Let's go on and subscribe to SEML-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com<mailto:SEML-subscribe_at_yahoogroups.com> and wish Michael a good start.
Talk to you later,
Patrick
Patrick and Joanne Poitevin
