Greg, I would absolutely love to hear about it!
What were their reactons- did they need much coaxing? I noticed in Dobson's film, many of them needed to be coaxed to take a look.
Does anyone else have any stories or meetings with John Dobson to share? Would love to hear them!

He still seems pretty sharp for a person of his advanced years. It was interesting watching the main video and I will get to the others later.

Paul, oh my gosh, yes how incredibly sharp he is indeed.
In the second link- the AWB interview sees him being interviewed after his stroke. Despite some slurring and not as quick as he was in the movie- he's so SHARP - unbelievable!
Tony,
am not surprised ... beating me to things as usual.
Mel, there keeping you busy.
