Cub Scout Space Night a Huge Success.

Printed in Reflections:  November, 1998.

On October 15, I hosted “SPACE NIGHT” for Saline’s Cub Scout Pack 419.  It was a magical night for the 130 attendees.  Success would not have been possible without the generous help from the following Lowbrow members:

• Doug Scobel - who manned the 20” in the dome.
• John Causland - who wowed the scouts his computerized scope.
• Dave Snyder - who kept up with the zillions of questions they asked.
• Mark Deprest - who explained the solar system with much enthusiasm.
• John Ridley - who inspired many future scientists.
• Paul Walkowski - who kept the focus on Jupiter, despite lots of bumps to the scope.
• Bernard Friberg - who helped explain what everyone was seeing.

Thanks to all!
