The George H. Russell Prize
by Louise RussellNote: This letter also appears on the Alachua Astronomy Club's George H. Russell Prize web page.
Mrs. George H. Russell sent the following thank you note to Mr. Robert Jacobs, then president of the club, in response to the above club's motion to honor her late husband by naming the club's astronomy science fair prize in his name.
(Reprinted from FirstLight, July 1995.)To Mr. Robert Jacobs and Members of the Astronomy Club
Thank you so much for your expressions of sympathy and for the honor you are showing George by naming the Science Award after him. He would be pleased.
This family was always proud of his participation in the Astronomy Club, his "writings" and his involvement with the school system. It is so nice to know how much you, too, value these activities.
Thank you again from all of us —
Louise Russell
