Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
Linda told the love story of comet hunters Carolyn Spellman and Eugene Shoemaker. A nice Valentine's Day theme. This was a very well put together presentation containing film clips and audio of Carolyn herself telling much of the story. Linda did a great job.
