Hi everyone:

   Just for your information Richard Schmoyer has passed away on Thursday may
29th after a long illness.  He has been a member of the NASS and the BSS.  He
designed a sundial called the "Sunquest" which is pictured on page 33 of
Waugh's book.  His sundial was featured in Scientific American magazine in
1959.

   I happened to live near him and have visited him over the years when he
was in better health.  He has been interested in sundials for most of his
life and has a reflected ceiling dial in his office.  Sundials can be a life
long passion which he did enjoy.
