I will ditto Jeff's e-mail. Despite the less than reasonable observing conditions we had a very respectable showing of telescope and quite a number of guests. And don't forget the special thanks for Jack Jones.

Despite the clouds, people got some good views of the Moon, Saturn and other objects as they peaked between the clouds. There were a couple dozen telescopes set up and I would estimate close to 100 visitors. I got to talk to many students and think I may have inspired some. Even without great observing, I consider the star party a success and want to thank all those involved, especially Jack Jones.
