Hi, Rob, Bernd, List,

    One could hardly wish for any better
monument than an asteroid! Good for you,
Rob.

    The entire text (and the illustrations, too!)
of the 1943 English translation (by Katherine
Woods) of "The Little Prince" can be found at:

Just flip from chapter to chapter with the link
at the bottom of each page.

> Jim would be very proud. That is really cool!!!

Hi Ruben and List,

.. and as you can see in the attachment*, Jim is already
busy cleaning up there on his little planet and watering
his asteroidal roses!

Best wishes,

Bernd

* The List can't but Ruben can!

P.S.: These two pictures are taken from "The Little Prince" by
Antoine de St.-Exup?ry and the following passage from this
wonderful book is a fitting tribute to our late Jim!

Chapter 4

I had thus learned a second fact of great importance: this was that the
planet the little prince
came from was scarcely any larger than a house! But that did not really
surprise me much.
I knew very well that in addition to the great planets - such as the Earth,
Jupiter, Mars, Venus
- to which we have given names, there are also hundreds of others, some of
which are so small
that one has a hard time seeing them through the telescope. When an
astronomer discovers one
of these he does not give it a name, but only a number. He might call it,
for example, "Asteroid 325."
I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which the little
prince came is the asteroid
known as B-612.
