Here's a link to a feel-good/outreach story from my local newspaper, The Tyler Morning Telegraph:
"Local Engineer Recalls Decades Spanning Career with NASA."

* Celestron C6 SCT on a Twilight 1 Alt-Az mount
Prof. Barnhardt to Klaatu in The Day the Earth Stood Still: "There are several thousand questions I'd like to ask you.”

Sweet story AG. Remarkable how much was done with slide rulers and pencils.

I like his comment on science fiction movies:

Thanks for sharing.
