[sac-forum] Re: Messier Marathon

Gee we are going big-time - a real speaker. This is wonderful and we should be
honored, when you think about it. I would have been tempted to put this info
in the Astronomy and Sky&Tel mag announcements if I had known earlier. How the
Easterners/Canadians would have salivated at that knowledge. Let's do what we
can to encourage Don and have our first "Marathon speaker", and it's so
fitting that it is he.
