Howdy y'all,

What Andrew failed to mention was that in front of a packed auditorium
there was a special presentation and Andrew was presented the Lone
Star Award for excellence in observing.

This is a very special award that only gets given out once a year.

Andrew was nearly speechless at the honor but everyone agreed
it was well deserved. What was especially noted was not only
Andrew's observational prowess but his generosity in sharing the
views over many years.

I can tell you it was also a proud moment for John B. and I to simply
be in the audience to see Andrew honored in this way. I am sure many
fellow Aussie observers will also be proud for Andrew acting as such
an excellent ambassador for the hobby.

Well done!

Best Regards

Gary Kopff
Currently with Andrew in Canon de Chelly, Arizona
