Hi, I have returned home from Hartford and reflect on the ideas and energy that flowed during the meetings. I too hope to purchase the Schmoyer sundial.
I appreciate all the work by Fred Sawyer, you, and other presenters for providing us with many opportunities for learning new perspectives. The "solar plane" dials were a delight. The string and block models were great. I also liked the artistic points of view of Robert Adzema, Kate Pond and others - today few count on only a dial for time - but we all can admire the beauty of the designs showing the dynamics of shadows. Thanks to all for a great NASS meeting, Warren Thom Mac Oglesby wrote: > Hi, > > I've just returned home from the NASS conference in Hartford, which > was a huge success.
