I just wanted to thank Ed Cox and Jon Stewart-Taylor for coming to Cedar 
Ridge HS and helping me last night.   While the observing conditions were 
not optimal, we were able to show quite a few of the "tourist traps" 
(Jupiter, Saturn, M13) to some people who had never used (or perhaps had 
seen) a telescope before.   It is always fun to watch someone see Saturn 
for the first time!   As an added bonus, the ISS made an appearance and cut 
a swath across the sky, to the amazement of everyone who was there.

The teacher who organized the session was very grateful for our help, and 
plans on contacting us once or twice a year in the future.   So we must 
have done something right :-)

Again, thanks to Ed and Jon, and I'll see everyone at the meeting next week.
