[AJ Crayon <acrayon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brent, according to my old observing notes, and I do mean "old", several 
of us went there a few times back in 1984!  Amongst the observers were 
Steve Coe and David Fredericksen - what did you expect.  Also there were 
Gerry Rattley, George DeLange and Bob Erdmann.  Perhaps there were others.

Clear skies,
aj
