Dr. Schultz,
The intent of my message was to present possibilities and to get a
clarification of what you meant by visiting an observatory. However, I
believe my message could easily be misinterpreted, so let me add to it.
I do not know how receptive Gary Frey would be to visitors, and he is
not part of this list. I cannot speak for him. I have no connections
with Lowell, and so such a visit would probably be a normal public tour.
As for myself, I could not personally do this unless one or two other
individuals on this list were also involved.
