To all Public Seismic Network members:

I am writing to let you all know that my father Casper suffered a stroke at 
about 11 am on 25 November. He was immediately taken to a nearby VA hospital 
where it was determined that he had inoperable bleeding in his brain. He 
passed away at about 5 pm the next day, 26 November.  He was not in pain as a 
result of his stroke and died with great dignity.

PLEASE DO NOT SEND MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE.  I have taken on the task of 
notifying my father's email friends to let you all know all know of his 
passing.  As you can imagine he has been receiving large volumes of email, 
and my top priority is to wade through it all to determine who needs to be 
notified.  While I certainly appreciate everyone's sentiments, messages of 
condolence will only clog his email account and make my task more difficult.

PLEASE REMOVE CAPAAVSO FROM THE PSN DISTRIBUTION LIST.  If there is a 
procedure I need to follow to discontinue psn messages, do let me know. 

I CANNOT HELP COMPLETE ANY PROJECTS OR TRANSACTIONS. I am sorry about this, 
but none of my Father's survivors knows anything about his projects or how to 
complete them.

RUSTRACK RECORDERS. One thing we are aware of is that my father has a large 
number of Rustrack recorders and recording tapes that are useful to many of 
you.  Some of them are here in Florida and most are in New Jersey.  We will 
not respond to any individual requests for either recorders or tape, BUT we 
would like to find one person to whom all other the Rustrack items can be 
sent.  I am not sure whether that one person will be found among you the PSN 
members or among the AAVSO members. I want to ask that you all discuss this 
among yourselves and tell me where the recorders and tape can be shipped. For 
this purpose you are welcome to contact me at this email account, which we 
will keep active for about one month.

I hope this Thanksgiving finds you all well.  I know my father would wish you 
all the best.

Bruce Hossfield
