Edhat StaffJames Brian Doordan died on Sunday, January 21st , 2018 at Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California.
By the time he was 10 years old, he had discovered the night sky. It would be a source of wonder and reward throughout his life beginning with his first childhood identification of a constellation (Orion). He was especially fond of camping and enjoyed traveling with his friends. In his early 30’s, Jim was both paralyzed and blinded by multiple sclerosis. However, his fascination with the stars continued. He was a member of the Santa Barbara Astronomical Unit and was a faithful student in star-gazing classes at Santa Barbara Community College where he was well known.
