In Memory of Joel Fream

On Aug 19th we lost one of our valued club contributors. For several years Joel Fream has done the computer work to put together our club newspaper "The Observer" On Aug 19th Joel was killed in the crash of his single engine aircraft. Joel will be remembered for serving spirit in helping out the Astronomy club, radio club and small rural law enforcement groups in Oklahoma.

Marc Chouinard - a former club President now living in Texas wrote this tribute to Joel.

I met Joel when I was attempting to make a newsletter that would become an observing tool as well as communicate club events. I had recruited David Stine for his wonderful column(called "Comet Talk" at that time) to join Don Cole (Great seasonal observing guides) and myself as regular contributors, but we lacked production capabilities to reflect the content quality. After seeing the new content, Joel Fream telephoned me.

Although Joel was not much involved in observing anymore, he still had an interest in the club and invited me over to see the newsletter he had prepared for his radio club. I was very impressed and excited that Joel agreed to produce our newsletter in the same fashion. Richie Shroff organized much of the content, as he had been doing so well for many years, while Joel did formatting and production. Joel also contributed interesting columns about astronomical enigmas and curiosities. Very much of the success of "The Observer" is owed to Joel, who formatted the visual appeal that still compliments the ACT newsletter today. There is no doubt that the form of communication he helped develop has touched many budding Astronomers.

I have a picture of Joel and his German shepherd in front of the pier at the observatory. He helped during construction of the building; a time when we were taking on this great challenge while both establishing a great newsletter and a rigorous observing schedule. Without him, we would not have been as successful. I shall always remember him for stepping up during a critical time in the club's history.
