I was a vulcanologist who had a front row seat to this eruption. Unfortunately I never got to publish my findings as I died an instant after broadcasting "Vancouver, Vancouver! This is it!" via my radio. My body was never found. Who knows maybe I'll be fossilized!

I'd say good guess but it's not! Here's a further hint. I don't know if I died before or after Harry Truman. It doesn't matter because we surely died within seconds of each other.

I don't think you have quite grasped my meaning.
Vulcanologist - Mr Spock
Volcanologist - David Johnston. Died in the Mt. St. Helen's eruption of 1980.
OK, so it can be spelled either way, but I think since we have 'volcanos' and not 'vulcanos' it really ought to be spelled 'volcanologist'
Hmmm! Now should I have spelled 'spelled' or 'spelt'. Although 'spelled' is the accepted norm, it seems 'spelt' is also acceptable. Sorry, I'm waffling now.
Harry S Truman, incidentally, died in 1972.

"I thought it was Fred Sanford who called the Queen and said: "Elizabeth, Elizabeth, this is the big one!" "
Shouldn't that have been HRH Prince Philip?

Ok I just read this story. Here's a tough one, maybe.
I am an Astronomer who was married to a geologist who worked on the moon rocks in the 1970's. My husband brought home a tiny sample of moon dust for me, which I ate. Thus I'm likely the only astronomer in the world to have eaten part of the moon. To help you guess: I discovered one of the most famous comets of the 20th Century, along with my husband and our friend armature astronomer ________. I am still alive, but sadly my husband is not. The moon dust gift was VERY romantic. Bonus points if you can guess why I ate it.

Some possibilities:-
You had indigestion and thought it might bring some
tranquility
to your upset stomach.
You are a gastronome who wanted a meal which was 'out of this world'.
You are an alcoholic and thought it was 'moonshine'.
You are just plain
loony
'Lunar'.

If you read the book then you'd know that people thought exposure to moonlight would help get you pregnant. Shoemaker was her last name.
