Kim, When we realized there was new management, "someone" tried to get in touch with the manager. A secretary would not allow them to get past her, and said that she was certain that no one was allowed on the site, but that they could write a letter to the company requesting permission. However, she said it would have to be run past the corporate board, and she was sure the answer would be no. At that point, the person felt it was better to ask forgiveness if caught, rather than bring the companies attention to the issue. This was mentioned at the time, but no one in the club seemed inclined to pursue the matter. Jo At 04:28 PM 8/11/2004 -0600, you wrote:
I was not aware that we do not have permission to observe from the gravel pit. Jo, do you know who the new management is? Has anyone contacted them to get permission?

Hi Rich,
How did she hear about the quarry? Can you make sure that she does not say where she is reporting from? Since we do not have permission to be there from the new management of the quarry, we probably don't want to publicize our presence there. They did say they did not want people there after dark, so I hate to have it announced on the radio, and then have them forbid us to use the place.

Hi all,
I just got a call from Joy Shaw who works for KBYU FM that is doing a story for the Assoc. Press on tonight's meteor shower. She is planning on coming up to the Gravel Pit after midnight tonight and collecting some sound bytes for a radio program. If you want to be part of a nationwide broadcast and have your "ooh's" and "aahs" recorded for the rest of the nation to envy, or be interviewed, the Gravel Pit's the place to be. Deseret News' Joe Bauman will also likely be there for quotes in the paper.
I suppose I'm committed now to be late for work tomorrow! ;o)
See you up there, Rich
PS Directions can be found on the uvaa.org website under "star parties".
