Thanks for another great job on the 2011 AAMM, AJ! Thanks to Jennifer Polakis for the Bake Sale. Yummy stuff and for a great cause. I loved the "Sucker Hole" cupcakes, quite appropriate for the night of cloudiness at Hovatter Road Airstrip site. Thanks to Claude (SP?) I think, for the late night coffee and stuff table. What, no EVAC members turned in their papers for the visual Marathon? What a bunch of wimps. J Congratulations to Wayne Thomas for getting 97 snapshots for the imaging list! Wow. I sure enjoyed the objects I did observe. The objects I viewed were beautiful in my scope. That's why I keep doing this every year. I had fun doing it and enjoyed the company of fellow observers during the socked-in cloud cover during the night. Can't wait 'till next year to do it again. Rick R.
