Hi Steve,
My wife and I have always wondered where Pierre's binocular chair went! We 
always used to visit him on my trips to Phoenix to visit my daughter when I 
lived in California. It was a tragedy to visit him in his final days in the 
hospital. Anyway, my wife coveted that chair and I have always thought I would 
build a similar one myself one of these years. Of course, Pierre was 
deceptively creative and I don't have those talents at all. I still remember 
his drillmotor driven 16-inch telescope with attached observing chair. What a 
marvel that was! You never know, we may make it up that way, just to see the 
chair, okay, maybe a few stars and SAC members, too!
Clear skies,

  Won't you join us on Saturday April 26th at ~4:00 PM for our annual Star 
Party/Potluck?  This year, we can check out all the "new" equipment we've 
received, as well as see the progress on the Pierre Schwaar Binocular Chair 
redesign, (if not give it a spin around the sky).
  Joe Orman will give another of his patented slide shows around dusk, and 
promises more wonderful images.
  Bring your telescope or binoculars, a chair and some warm clothing, as it 
sometimes get chilly out in the sticks.  Bring something to throw on the grill 
and something to pass around, food-wise.  We'll have some soda, but if there's 
something specific you prefer, bring that too.
  If you're new to astronomy and would like some help with your new scope, or 
have any questions, feel free to stop by a little early for a tour.  Well 
behaved children are welcome, and we can show them a scale model of our solar 
system.
  Please RSVP to the email address below, not the list.  Maps and directions 
are blind linked on my site, along with my phone numbers.  We'll be here unless 
it rains, so clouds are no problem.
 Do let us know you'll attend!
