The tragic deaths of Melville Adam
and his wife June, in June 1980, made front-page news in
Scotland and deeply shocked our society. They regularly
attended ASTRA meetings in 1969 when we were meeting in the
Granville Bar in Glasgow, after our affiliation to Glasgow
University Union had lapsed, and before we had our own
premises in Hamilton. In the 1970's Mel found that family
and business commitments kept him from attending ASTRA
meetings so often, and the last time he visited ASTRA was
during the International Spaceflight Exhibition in 1971.
However he retained his membership
for several more years and continued his interest even after
that, making a point of acquiring publications with an ASTRA
connection including "The High Frontier" exhibition book, my
"New Worlds for Old" and Chris Boyce's "Extraterrestrial
Encounter".
Mel and June were survived by
their two sons.
