I agree...a very likable and intelligent guy both on and off the
screen.

I just read that on another newsgroup.
Growing up with him on the late night tube, it's kind of a hard pill to
swallow. :^((



Best regards,

He has been missed and now more so. You know that he was an amateur
astronomer? At least in the 1980's he still used his Cave 10" Newtonian
(maybe had his limo take him out to some dark place). Now both guys are
gone.

My sentiments precisely. Tremendously talented and a very sharp mind as
well.

Anthony.

Hi:

If I recall correctly, Johnny had quite a few scopes, including, at one
time, a Questar 7 and a C14.

"And Here's Johnny!" - St Peter

You're probably right, but I can't remember. Tom would speak of he met
Johnny and made the 10" for him. I remember people telling me that Carson
would actually observe with the telescope. 30 years is a long time to do a
TV show and it seems like just yesterday he did the last one. It was on too
late for me most of the time, but whenever I did see it he left me rolling
in the floor.

A very sad day indeed. Thank you Johnny for everything. You were the best.

Now he gets to look down instead of up....

Anyone here ever see Carson observe? Attend a star party? Of course, I
know he was an amateur astronomer because he would occasionally mention it
on his show.
