<p><span style="color:black; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">It is with sadness that I announce the passing of Professor A.R. (Harry) Hyland. Harry pioneered the early days of mid-infrared astronomy in Australia using single-element bolometers, with studies of
sources local to the Galaxy, in the local group, and beyond to QSOs. His most recent appointment was as Deputy Vice-Chancellor of James Cook University.</span><span style="color:black; font-size:12pt"></span></p>

<p><span style="color:black; font-family:Arial,sans-serif">Harry served for 14 years on ASA Council and was a former President of the Society (1993-94). His service was recognised through an Honorary Fellowship of the ASA. He was also co-Chair of the National
Organising Committee for the IAU GA in 2003 in Sydney. </span><span style="color:black; font-size:12pt"></span></p>
