Yes, he is one of those behind the scenes sort of guys that keeps this institution functioning like it does. Biggest problem the Kiwi beer is a tad strong for him, otherwise I would be sending some across for him as well, LOL.

Yes - he's a top bloke is our Mr. Ponders! I noticed that at the 2008 Qld Astrofest, he often spent more time helping others than he did at his own ‘scope.

Cheers

Dennis
