Aloha Fred, It was my pleasure to meet you and Larry and both your wives during your visit to the BIg Island. I'm glad you enjoyed the scopes, and I was enthralled by your and Larry's stories of the Elbert fall and other adventures. Maybe I'll come visit you guys on your home turf, perhaps during the Denver show.
Here is a picture of you guys posing in front of the summit ridge with (l-r) Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope, Gemini Observatory, UH88 Telescope, United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Images/FredOlson-LarryJohnson.jpg gary On Apr 29, 2010, at 10:40 AM, debf...@att.net wrote: > Gary, I want to take this opportunity to try to thank you for arranging tours > last month of the NASA and Subaru Telescopes on top of Mauna Kea.
