The lovely & talented Ms. Polakis is 146268-jennipolakis. 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.

Hey, all. 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?
