Howdy all; Tom and Jeannie Clark and myself are in an RV park in Deming, NM. There is progress on the land they purchased about 25 miles north of here. The sewer line trench and electrical power are in place and we are probably going to move up to have the motorhomes on the property next week. He has a solid lead on a fellow to buy the land and telescope in Chiefland, Fla. So they are hoping to move here permanently by next year. I will leave here in the middle of August to start making my way to the Oregon Star Party. We could certainly have some fun at Fred's Meadow when I return. There is a meeting of the Silver City Astronomy Club during the first week in July, so we are planning to drive up and spend some time with those folks. Once we get a chance to observe, I will send along a report. I do hope that we get a little rain to wash all the smoke and dust out of the air. Clear skies to us all; Steve Coe -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
