Hi All, Just to back up what Geoff says...I visited the Flandrau collection 2 years ago and had a great time (got the T-shirt to prove it) Even spent the evening there observing through the telescope that is open for the public too.
Well worth a visit. Graham Ensor UK PS attended Rob Elliot's auction on tuesday...a very good day. ---- Notkin <geok...@notkin.net> wrote: > Dear Listees: > > I thought some of you -- especially those who visit Tucson on a > regular basis -- might be interested in this story: > > http://tucsoncitizen.com/lizard/2009/08/18/tucson-it-is-time-to-step-up-be-counted-and-save-the-great-flandrau-science-center/ > > The late O.
