Monty was chairman of the Transvaal centre of ASSA in 1987 and served on the committee for a number of years. He had his own small electronics business and specialised in making precision shaft encoders. However business was not always so good and he returned to England to try his luck there. Monty had many family problems, health problems and business problems and dropped out of the astronomical fraternity many years ago. Although he came back to South Africa for a while, his health was not good and he never resumed his astronomical activities. We offer our condolences to his family. B.F. |
