International Meteor Organization (IMO)

IMO Member List

In an organization composed out of individual members such as the IMO, it is very important that members know and correspond with each other. We strongly recommend that members write, phone, or e-mail each other regularly. This document, containing all members as of January 1, 2005, allows you to scope the interests of your colleagues/members within the IMO and to pick out those you wish to contact. We hope that if you get a message from one of the people on this list, even if you have little time, you will take the effort to send a reply!

The IMO cannot be held responsible for any consequence this publication may have for the people mentioned. If you wish
to have the text covering your activities modified, notify us and we will make the appropriate changes as soon as possible.

Florida Southern College, 2731 Nevada Road, Lakeland, FL 33803-3254 U.S.A. I have special interest in visual observations. My meteor interest goes all the way back to the Leonid Shower in 1966.  Ever since, I have been watching the Leonids, Orionids, Taurids, Perseids, Geminids, and July Aquarids with some regularity, and others (such as the Quadrantids and April Lyrids) not so regularly.  I observe less now than when I was younger, mostly due to time and kid constraints.  I was a member of the American Meteor Society in the early 1970s and received almost all the issues of Meteor News that were printed. Activities include tournament chess since 1973 and have been an "Expert" since 1988.  I teach chess at the grade school where my children attend.  I have coached baseball and soccer as well (but my baseball skills far outweigh my soccer skills!).  I am currently writing a book about naked eye meteor observing.  We'll see how that goes (I currently have about 100 pages).  I also do a little economics.
