Dear AAVSO Friends,
It is with sadness that we inform you that longtime AAVSO member and observer Arthur E. (Art) Pearlmutter (PN) passed away October 23, 2017, at the age of 81. Art had been a member of the AAVSO for over 55 years, and contributed over 10,000 visual variable star observations made between 1955 and 2008. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife Joan, their children Chaim and Renee, grandchildren and other family, and many friends, who include other AAVSO longtime members and observers.
Elizabeth Waagen, AAVSO HQ
