There is a nice article today "Gilbert Observatory Opens This Weekend" (Friday, Oct. 20, 2006)by Mike Walbert in the Arizona Republic with a silhouette of Win Pendleton in the slit of the new GRCO dome. See Valley and State, Section B, pgs. B1 and B6. http://news.azcentral.com The same text article (with a different photo, Win Pendleton with Regan Brennan in the observatory) appears in the GilbertCommunity section of Arizona Central on the web: http://www.azcentral.com/community/gilbert/ http://www.azcentral.com/community/gilbert/articles/1020observatory1020.html (you will likely have to provide some minimal info about yourself to access this article....) I propose a mascot for the new observatory.....the GRCO (Astro) Gecko!
