| Name | Sandra L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was very interested in astronomy in high school, would have been an astronomer, had the money for the schooling been available. But making a living, worsening eye sight, age ... I'm still interested, but no longer as active as I would like. Only reason I saw this event, I was standing at my bay window watching for trick-or-treaters, since my front door is sealed for the winter, and I had to go out the back door to meet them in the front yard. |
