Much of what I know now about Astronomy I learnt from a lady Amateur Astronomer.
Karenza Burk is one of the most dedicated zealous Amateur Astronomers I have ever met. Her excitement is contagious and has you wanting it to get dark really fast so you can check out what she is talking about.
She is a good friend of mine too, so I get some of that infectious excitement for the sky whenever I see her.
But now she is approaching her 80's its getting harder for her to observe. But her excitement and vivid descriptions are still contagious
