Hi Frank--It should last about an hour, then we'll walk over and view the memorial.

I'd like to thanks those of you who posted the links to the stories about Robert Burnham. I had no idea that there was such an interesting and tragic story behind the name - I thought he was just another famous astronomer (hey, SAC is full of those!) for whom it was time to dedicate a plaque. It's a lot more meaningful now. I wasn't planning on going to the dedication this weekend, but I probably will now, if I can make it. I see that it starts at 2:00 - any idea how long it is expected to last? Thanks, Frank ________________________________ Sent: Sunday, August 9, 2009 7:29:12 PM Subject: [AZ-Observing] Burnham Celebration at Lowell this Saturday 2pm!!!!!

I've made reservations for dinner for 30 people at Little America's restaurant there. Please bring $cash if you plan to eat with us afterward to save the waitstaff from the separate checks mess.
