Bill Pogue passed away at age 84

http://www.space.com/24929-skylab-astro ... at-84.html?

For those not familiar, Col. Pogue wore a Seiko 6139 chrono on his mission on SkyLab. The "Pogue" is widely considered the first automatic chronograph in space and he did not have clearance to carry it. More on this here- http://sinn142.fateback.com/pogue.html

RIP Col. Pogue :salute:
