Some thoughts to share about a person who passed far too soon and meant a lot to many – https://www.linkedin.com/pu…
Just a few months ago, I had lunch with an ebullient Elliott who, in typical fashion, was generating a slew of plans – some completely outside the aerospace world and others involving his passion for what he called private space diplomacy. And here I am writing about him in the past tense. He was close to me in age which makes his sudden loss all the more surreal.
Back in the beginning of the Space Symposium, sometime in the 1980s, I remember speaking to an audience that could fit in a large conference room. A couple of decades later, under Elliott’s brilliant leadership, the site of the annual conference, the Broadmoor Hotel, was compelled to add new facilities to accommodate the 14,000 or so who register for what has become a “must attend” annual event for public and private sector officials from the US and overseas. His accomplishments, including the Space Foundation’s many K-12 educational initiatives, speak for themselves. But what I will remember most is Elliott’s spirit of joy and generosity. He was a great friend who loved nothing better than hosting a group of friends and colleagues, with diverse backgrounds, and then finding the common interests that often emerged – most often than not our collective commitment to human and robotic space exploration.
He was one of a kind. My prayers go out to his family. Godspeed, Elliott.
A good man, a great heart and many solid visions for future endeavors. He will be missed by many. Our condolences to the Pulham family.
well stated and I completely agree. The vision is about the integral members who work together to pass that baton.
