Thirty Years of Sky & Telescope Magazine
This is to acknowledge that the Huachuca Astronomy Club has received a gracious donation from Mr. Bob Gent (member and president of IDA) of a large collection in the form of thirty years worth of Sky & Telescope magazines. Not only this, but they are even bound in official Sky & Telescope binders. The value can only be imagined. The Huachuca Astronomy Club expresses an astronomical amount of gratitude to Bob for this marvelous donation!
