<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

I spent Tuesday in Chicago talking to Foundations about support for the Observatory. Under Development Director Sarah Huard's guidance, this was a very successful day, I believe. And it was actually fun - representing the breadth and quality of the research we do here is a privilege and it is a compelling story, that I am confident will grow to be irresistible to donors!

I learned a lot from an excellent meeting with the junior research staff on Wednesday morning. Robin Robertson's leadership in organizing these meetings has been extremely important - Robin will be sadly missed when she leaves later this year for her new job in Australia 

Scott Vanderhoef, County Executive of Rockland County, came by for lunch on Wednesday, and we talked of many issues of local importance from the Tappan Zee Bridge to our forthcoming plans for Open Day on October 1st.

It is going to be hot again this weekend, they say - time to make a latitudanal adjustment (if not an attitudinal one) and go to Maine.

Have a good one,

– Mike
