[AANC Contacts] JD's In Town (almost) & Wednesday Birthday Celebration at the Randall

[Kenneth Frank]

Hello All Dobson Class Members and Sidewalk Astronomers,

John is soon arriving from Burbank at Oakland International Airport ~ 8:45 PM tonight.
Dean Gustafson has been kind enough to pick him up.

He'll be staying at his Judah Street digs if you'd like to pay him a visit.
I'm sure he'd like that...especially during the daytime.
If you forgot, he likes to go to Trader Joe's for his usual carrot juice, yogurt and 
raisin bran.
Why not accompany him on the N Judah or give him a lift up and back?


What: The SFAA/SFSA will be holding a birthday celebration for his 94th trip around our Sun.

When: Wednesday, November 18th  7:00 PM

Where: Randall Museum..Have a telescope you made?..bring it! Let's have a Valley of the 
Dobs in his honor. Hey, Jupiter is out.

Why: Cake and coffee.

After: At 7:30 ish in the theatre the SFAA will be showing BLAST! for free of course. All 
are invited. (no food in the theatre please).

John may want to do some sidewalk astronomy (likely spot of 9th & Judah) or maybe we can 
talk him into the SFAA Lands End Star Party on Saturday ! 4:30 with solar scopes first.

Sunday he'll leave via van with the lovely and ever thoughtful Donna Smith.
Donna is coming up on Friday and will have some of John's books for sale. No DVD's or 
telescope making cassettes though &-(

Please call/email all our classmates / sidewalk astronomer buddies and say hello to John 
on Wednesday.

See you in the dark and enjoy tonight's Leonid's (even though as John says: "I don't do 
gravel"),

Ken
