John,

RICHARD:
A few years ago one of my neighbors' kids, a pre-teenage girl, started
to visit my backyard observatory. It got so it almost seemed this
bright youngster had an alarm in her bedroom that sounded whenever I
rolled back the roof. We had many a good time, and I was happy for the
company. Then it stopped about a year ago.
Last night, my now 16-year-old friend was back, along with her new
boyfriend.......
Starry Skies,
Rich

Good for her!!
That would be quite a kick to have these kids, and maybe some
others, show up on a regular basis to see what is out there.
Good Luck!
HOpe you have some of the more interesting pictures of the Crab
Nebula, etc., where the kids can see them and have an idea of
what wonders there are in the universe.
