Dear Luke,

Please extend our thanks to Atirah and Erin for being so generous with
their time, their knowledge and their passion.  My class truly enjoyed
their time looking through the telescope and picking from the menu of
observable stars!  They were like kids in a candy store.  What is more, I
think that they found a meeting of the minds in their tour guides whose
love for astronomy was infectious.  The class caught the bug!

Please also extend out thanks to Mindy for honoring our request to open
your doors to us.  Finally, thanks to you for making all of the
arrangements.  It was so easy and seamless for me.

While my feet sure got cold, my heart was warmed by everyone's enthusiasm
and most of all, the wonder of the stars.

Have a great weekend and thanks again.

David
