She has the wiki page for minor planets 146000-147000 all to herself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meanings_of_asteroid_names_(146001-147000)), this is what it says: 146268- Jennifer Polakis, American amateur astronomer, eclipse chaser and popularizer of astronomy. I'd be willing to bet Tom's paycheck that He & Jenn are the only Husband wife space rocks. And of course there 13006-Schwaar, named for the late Pierre Schwaar.

I just got the word--- an asteroid has been named after me (by Rik Hill of the Catalina Sky Survey). #26586, aka 2000 EF116). I know that Gene Lucas and Tom Polakis also have space rocks named for them-who else? Richard Harshaw Cave Creek, Arizona
