Jennifer, congratulations on your asteroid!  Now we will all be able to 
remember you for eternity.  My only question is when will you submit a 
visual observation? :))  [Yes I know it is very, very, very faint!:)]

Clear skies and continue to enjoy GCSP,
aj

Our friend Dave Healy has named one of his asteroid discoveries after Jenn! 
She wanted asteroid number 867-5309, but we can't wait long enough for that 
asteroid number to become available.
