Abstract
Allow me to make some personal reflections:
When I first decided to nominate Mayo for the Henry Norris Russell prize in 1997, letters in support of my nomination were received by Profesors L. Spitzer (Princeton University Observatory), H. vd Hulst, G. Miley and E. van Dishoeck (at Leiden), R.J. Allen (Baltimore), Bruce and Debbie Elmegreen (NY), D.A. Williams (University College London), P. Hodge (Editor of the Astronomical Journal in Seattle) and L. Allamandola, D. Cruikshank and Y. Pendleton (NASA-Ames). The letters bore stature of the greatness of the man. Sadly, both Lyman Spitzer and Henk vd Hulst passed on, shortly after they wrote their recommendation letters.
