>Sunday, 18 June 2006, marks the 80th birthday of Allan Sandage. Evidence 
>that this outstanding observer of stars, galaxies, and the universe is 
>still going strong may be found by looking at his current list of preprints 
>at http://arxiv.org/find/astro-ph/1/au:+Sandage_A/0/1/0/all/0/1.  By the 
>time these appear in print he will have more than 500 articles listed in 
>ADS (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/).  He has also published a number of 
>historical reviews, including a recent history of the Mt. Wilson 
>Observatory.  For more on Sandage see 
>http://www.phys-astro.sonoma.edu/BruceMedalists/Sandage/index.html.

>While the majority of cosmologists now disagree with Sandage's (and Gustav 
>Tamann's) determinations of the value of the Hubble constant, I hope that 
>all will agree that his has been a remarkable career. May it continue for a 
>long time to come.
