Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
We added a microscopy station this time with several microscopes. The main attraction was Steve and Amelia Goldberg with Astrea. We also had an old friend freshly released from the hospital with an S50 and a 100mm refractor that all were encouraged to manipulate.
