Their knowledge and experience is given freely, and I do all I can to help them in any way. And I learn so much from them, just by listening. They have some great stories, too.

The amount of effort required to retro-fit a 100+ year old telescope is amazing, especially the power aspects. Ken is a master in this effort. They all deserve the recognition given in this article - and more!

Rock on, boys!
