Jack Horkheimer

Planetarium director and TV host -- via the Miami Herald. His ubiquitous "Star Gazer" show, a short segment seen regularly on PBS stations. We remember him as the "Star Hustler" (they changed the title down the road)! With his gravelly voice, garrulous manner and bad toupee, he was easy to poke fun at. However, he did love astronomy, and inspired many people to "keep looking at the stars." Thanks, Jack!
