[sac-forum] Fw: Park Ranger Needs HELP Mr. Wizard!

Here is a request I received from the Estrella Mountain Park Ranger.  I can't 
commit to every month but believe our Public Outreach could have a volunteer 
for each month.

Hi!  I'm the park ranger in Goodyear on the west side near Phoenix.  Every 
month I lead a hike called "Dark Sky Hike".  I had a guy-Steve Dermer- who 
would set up his telescope out in the desert (he drove) and I'd lead a group 
out and back.  He is now ill and can't do it anymore.  Do you have a hobbyist 
who might be willing to commit once a month-or even less-to help with this 
program?  I'm not getting the star thing.  Altho I've tried-I'm just not doing 
a very good job.  It's a popular hike, people love looking at stars.  Tony 
Laconte of Stargazing For Everyone knows me and the park if you want a 
referral.  The point we hike to is drivable so no hiking is involved for the 
astronomer.  It's about a 2 hr commitment and once a month would be lovely.  
The stargazing out here is pretty good and dark considering the area.  I can 
trade horseback rides for stars or write a college recommendation letter (as I 
did for Kevin Lagore).  I'd really love to be able to offer this program again. 
 Can you help?
