An afternoon side-trip to Flagstaff provided Ed with the opportunity to fulfill a long-held dream.

We toured the Lowell Observatory where, among other things, Ed reveled in seeing the Alvin Clark 24 in. telescope (1896) and hearing that it is still used today. This site houses Lowell's mausoleum, the Pluto telescope, several other telescopes and many educational and research buildings. Ed was in 7th Heaven!
