CN3y Sharing the Sky Web Log No 9-- Dean and Scott.
Over the years, in my wanderings among the stars, I have met some really wonderful people. In this column I wish to praise two of them, Scott Roberts, CEO of Explore Scientific, and Dean Koenig of Starizona. When I introduced them on January 19, 2001, (actually the night before George W. Bush’s inauguration) at a family dinner, I was not sure they’d get along. After all, as business people they were competitors; Scott was a Vice President of Meade at the time, and Dean emphasizes Celestron products at Starizona, his telescope store. What I didn’t take into account was the utter decency and humanity of both men. They liked each other from the start, and their friendship has lasted to this day.
Sharing the Sky Web Log 8: Uncle Guy, and a Fireball that Took its TimeEach month, our Sharing the Sky Foundation puts on a star party at the Corona Foothills Middle School. There, we meet with group of children gathered from all over Tucson to look at the sky. In addition to using Uncle Guy, a 14-inch SCT donated from Meade Instruments, and a wonderful 14mm accompanying eyepiece from Explore Scientific, participating teachers bring their own telescopes. Thus, we have lots of scopes, and usually a good sky to enjoy. |
