Event Report

Comments and anecdotes about the event:
My presentation was done after a very nice supper prepared for all 62 guests by the La Salle chef and his staff. There were a number of interesting questions raised by the audience. After the presentation, we went outside and used my telescope to view the Moon and Jupiter. It was a nice way to end the evening. Skies were clear and the temperature was mild, so it was a fun viewing session. It was a lengthy but fun evening.
