Ann asked:

I would like to get a hold of Deloy Pierce. A girl scout is working on an astronomy-oriented educational project for a Gold Award. She is compiling information for an astronomy syllabi and accompanying activity packets, and she would like to use Karen W. Pierce's list of binocular objects.

I do not know the person you are looking for, but if you are unable to find Delroy, substitutes may be available through the Astronomical League Binocular League binocular club observing lists: Binocular DSO Club http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/dsbinoc/dsbinoc.html Bino DSO List http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/dsbinoc/dsbnlist.html Binocular Messier Club http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/binomess/binomess.html 10x50 Bino Messier List http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/binomess/binomesa.html 11x80 Bino Messier List http://www.astroleague.org/al/obsclubs/binomess/binomesb.html The Alder Planetarium Hands-On-Universe website has a study program particularized for Girl-Scout badges. It's heavy on "desktop astronomy", but may provide some other good ideas. http://hou.lbl.gov/~vhoette/GirlScouts/ For completeness sake, here are two obscure links to the biographies of women in astronomy, which may be of interest to your scout: Fraknoi, A. and Freitag, R. 2001.
