Indeed! A sea of YELLOW SHIRTS all waiting to help!
It was Alan's Army!!!!
Tatiana, Evgeniy, and Jonathan are tired, but still excited! Tatiana was up bright and early dispite getting in at 11:00pm or so. Alan, Evgeniy was busy showing Mom the proper way to "make a muscle" and wants to do more physical work lifting! We've so much to write, but Jonathan broke his glasses there ( a story unto it's own... ) so I've got some running around to do. Besides - it's be cloudy for a month after the "Greatest Show on Earth"!!!!

Here is a story.
My family (wife, 9 and 7 yr old daughters) were at the NEAF yesterday drooling over all the scopes (mostly me especially at the Lunts booth) here comes this guy with a yellow shirt with NEAF on the front asking me if he can borrow us for few questions..... a stranger - my daughter and I thought but, he looked "somewhat" harmless He escorts us to the Cloudynight webcam and introduce himself to us as Alan Traino. He then asks my girls few astronomy questions and tells us that he and Astronomics are trying to promote astronomy and science. He then asks my girls if they have a telescope of their own and my oldest shakes her head no. Alan then turns around, picks up a case and hands over a 4in MC telescope to my girls and says "Here is a present for both of you. But, you have to promise that you have to find me next year and tell me all the things you saw through this telescope, promise??" The look on their faces were priceless.
I would like to thank you and Astronomics for a wonderful gift and great job you all did at the NEAF. We will definitely find you next year at the NEAF and report.
Best regards,
Steven
ps I'll post a pix tonight when I get home...

Here's one of a couple of shifty looking guys with my son and his two friends. A big thankyou to VM for the little scopes he gave them; a very kind and generous gesture
