We Are Stardust

Jodrell Bank is an awe-inspiring place. Incongruous in its heart-of-Cheshire location, it is amazing that this 55 year old structure is still at the cutting edge of astro physics. Quite mind blowing! Clearly - "Big Brains Live Here"!


It's therefore quite appropriate that my dear colleague Phil Reddy is now commemorated here. Phil was responsible for guiding the redevelopment of the Jodrell Bank Visitor Centre through its planning and funding stages a couple of years ago. Who was to know at the time of the battles with cancer that he would fight so courageously.

So last week, at the kind invitation of the fabulous Teresa Anderson, a small group of Phil's family, friends and colleagues gathered in the Jodrell Bank Arboretum to plant a tree in Phil's memory. It was a sad but lovely occasion and an entirely appropriate memorial to a wonderful, intelligent man.
