Bob,

Well if you make it I'll try to find you and say hi.  I drive a mere 150
miles at this point.  I almost made it to RTMC this year as my wife's
sister graduated from college this year in Northern California...  I made
an effort to fit it in my schedule to head down, but it just wasn't
practical.  Oh well...

Hope to see you bring a scope again.  I will always remember the 200"
telescope that was at Stellafane.
