Update from Jon Feb 11 2015 Hi Terri, Thank you for letting me know that our check has arrived. I feel lucky to once again have the opportunity to work with the fine people from PAS. If weather does happen to cloud us out I would most certainly appreciate having your team use our covered Ramada area to showcase their telescopes. However, I will be sending positive karma towards the sky gods asking them to bestow favorable viewing conditions on 2/20. So hopefully we will only have to worry about plan A.
