Margaret Mayall

Margaret Mayall was director of the AAVSO 1949-1973. She is remembered for guiding the AAVSO through the most difficult years of its history, seeing not only to the survival of the AAVSO as an independant organization, but also, with great devotion, seeing to maintaining the continuity of the fellowship of variable star observers and friends of astronomy that has been the keystone of the AAVSO since its founding in 1911.
