Venetia Phair (1918-2009)
As has been reported in many places, Venetia Phair, the woman who, at the age of 11, gave Pluto its name, died on April 30 at the age of 90.

The New York Times has a very good obituary at Venetia Phair Dies at 90; as a Girl, She Named Pluto, written by William Grimes.

Farewell, Venetia.
