Observatory without Brian is not Observatory. I do not believe all the things Helen says about you Brian., As the truth is that you did much much more than that, was ObsWatch mentioned? Think this Google Group will run out of bites if we had to mention all the good deeds you did and still do. for Obs You spend your time, money and a big part of your life for us that's why I also say THANK YOU BRIAN.
