Subject: [grco-staff] Re: July Availability
Claude,
It is with a very heavy heart that I must share that I will no longer be
able to work at the GRCO after 7/10 as I have to move to Milwaukee, WI for
work. My final availability is either the 7/6 or 7/7.
I cannot stress how much I have enjoyed working at the observatory for the
past 12 years alongside so many dedicated, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable
folks (I learned something new each night we shared the skies with the
public). I also thoroughly enjoyed sharing the night skies with our visitors
(well ... 98% of them - it was getting harder to bite my tongue when the
anti-science, 'young Earth', Apollo denier crowd showed up) and am very
proud to have helped (hopefully) educate and inspire the folks who came up
the path to visit. If I ever win the lottery, I would spend a portion of it
replicating the GRCO to other towns throughout the country as I firmly
believe the investment of out time and effort to educate, entertain, and
inspire the public has been worth every penny spent on GRCO and every minute
spent there.
I am still happy to keep updating the GRCO website as a way to stay
connected.
Thank you for everything
- Michael

Subject: [grco-staff] July Availability
Can't believe we are halfway through the year. Just think, Christmas is in
6 months - that thought will help you feel cooler. (yeah, it's still way
too hot)
Please let me know your available dates for July. We do have some new
operators going through training.
Thanks
