Lyle Marty

I remember the Marty family who lived near the church I was married in 68 years ago. A special hello to Marion. Sympathy to all the family.

When I was an undergraduate at UW-Madison from 1967 to 1971, I was interested in astronomy and used the old telescope at Washburn Observatory. Even though he was very busy with many other things, Lyle made the time to help me keep that scope going and work on other items I used to use to make my observations. When he was allowed to go into Sterling Hall a few days after the bombing in 1970, he invited me to go in with him so I got a view of the aftermath of that disaster that few people were...

We rented the duplex that Lyle and Virginia owned in Madison in the early 1970s and were always impressed with Lyle's friendliness and diligence of upkeep. We considered Lyle a friend and extend our sympathies to his daughters and extended family.
