Any past issues are past and probably vary depending on who you talk to. I don't think the Clark Planetarium has a room where we could meet, end of story, and parking would be a problem.
The Museum of Natural History would offer the positive aspects of the Hansen Planetarium without, hopefully the drawbacks. I do wonder if SLAS would have to pay a fee to meet at the Museum, however. BTW, I watched a Vietnam documentary on the history channel. Infantrymen in WWII saw on average 10 days/year of combat, Vietnam Infantrymen averaged over 200 and 2/3's of those soldiers were drafted.

Chuck, You had mentioned that Clarke Planetarium had issues with SLAS meeting there. I am unfamiliar with the reasons you had mentioned. Can you shed some more light on this?
Hi Jon, actually, Siegfried is 100% right. At this point, it's water under the bridge and any discussion doesn't belong in a public forum.
Perhaps he or some other board member or long-time clubber familiar with the story can fill you in off-list.
I am sorry I dredged it up; I just long for the nostalgic days of yore. Consider it a character flaw on my part.
Thanks for understanding.
