Hi all,
Dr. Roemer is the astronomer who recovered the comet in 1964 while she was
working at the U.S. Naval Observatory in Flagstaff. I just had a most lovely
conversation with her on the telephone. Her main interest was in the variety of
structure and composition of comets. She was intentionally looking for Comet
Holmes when she recovered it. (It was last seen in 1906 and in the 1940s was
determined to be unrecoverable.)
Anyway, she does not have a computer at home and I'm printing off information
and photos to mail her a package to her home in Tucson. If you would like to
mail her a print of your "real" photo or drawing or observing notes, I'm sure
she would be delighted.
I probably shouldn't post her address on this email, so please email me off
list or call and I'll get it out to you.
Thanks,
Jennifer Polakis
