I'm sorry I never got to meet him, but he still left quite an impression.

Re: Alan Hodginkson passing
He came over to my house several years ago with Charlotte for a Gem Nerd candle light dinner. You guessed it (or not) we used the candles to perfect our visual optics skills.
I also had setups for many of Dr. Hanneman's instruments in the back bedroom.
A good time was had by all.
