RIP Norman Edmund

If you grew up in the 60s and 70s you might remember Edmund Scientific and their wonderful catalogs full of optics, telescope parts and more. The founder, Norman Edmund, passed away January 17th at the age of 96.

Edmund’s focus has changed since I was a kid. The company split into two, with Edmund Scientific being sold to another company and the remainder focusing on industrial optics. Edmund Scientific is still doing business as Edmund Scientifics and selling many of the same things that made them famous.
