Hi Chuck, Kelly and her recovery is more important than any L&O. Take good care of her and giver her our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. The stars will wait for you. Siegfried On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 9:15 AM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
For those who don't know, Kelly was rear-ended coming home from work on March 28th. She suffered head injuries. She is home and doing better slowly, is getting medical treatment and we have secured an attorney to make sure her future needs are met.
But the upshot is that it as put all of my spring time astronomy desires on-hold. I had intended to get re-certified on the SPOC scopes this year and spend more time on club issues, but the accident and legal issue have taken all of my time. I've only managed to re-cert on the Ealing so-far.
I want to schedule a L&O session soon and still hope to salvage some of this year, astronomy-wise, but everything depends on Kelly's recovery.
Another thing that kicked me in the butt is that my helper at work quit last week, after I spent a year and a half training him. His issues weren't with me, thankfully, but his rate of pay, which I have very little say in. He gave me a glowing report in his exit interview. But now I'm short-handed again, keeping me at work more than I was counting on this year. He may be replaced but any new person will start at the bottom of the training program and be of very limited help for months and months.
So thanks for understanding if I don't come-through on any issues immediately. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
