Passing of Charlie Pike

We are saddened to hear that Charles “Charlie” Pike Jr. has passed away. Charlie was a valued member of BC/ISR for several years, having returned to BC after retiring from AFRL in 2008. In addition to sharing his scientific expertise in ionospheric physics with his colleagues, he also enjoyed recruiting BC undergrads for our research projects, being a BC alum himself (Class of ’63) and wanting to pass on his passion for science to the students. His obituary can be found here. He will be missed by all of us.
