An apology to all Hooker fans. I stand corrected on the name of Marion Hookers father.I am 81 years old and first met Marion at her home in Santa Barbara in June, 1948.My personal acquaintance with her goes far beyond that indicated in my posting of 10/17/02. msg #1276 @O1:31:50.
I can not explain for the life of me how the name Francis got embedded in my memory circuits as being her fathers name.About 1962, the Dean of Physics Dept at CalTech arranged for 2 of my sons and me to take a special guided tour thru the Mount Wilson Observatory. Ever since seeing the bronze plaque naming the 100 telescope in Hookers honor the name Francis has been stuck within me How and why I can not explain.
If anyone has a further interest in Marion I can be very helpful as she had a vey noteworthy life apart from that of her father.
