Sad news. Lost count of the number of times his site has been of use.

Sad news indeed, I had an invite to visit him in Australia in 2020, but due to the fires at the time it proved impossible. Very nice man had quite a few email exchanges with him.

Quite sad. A perfect gentleman and a heckuva historian.

Sad news.  I contacted him and bounced ides off him on one of the A16 magazines that one idiot posted was "orange juice" snudged on the film, something that could not be accomplished in a vacuum, so necessarily the missions were faked.  The consensus was it was a small amount of regolith that got smeared on many images as the film was being wound.
Truth needs no defense.  Nobody can take those footsteps I made on the surface of the moon away from me.
