First David Levy was a great speaker. I use my wife as the barometer for this
as she stated on the way home that David held her attention for the entire time
he was speaking. Coming from a non-astro person, I thought this was a well stated.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:black">I was somewhat surprised that no one from the
board gave thanks to Andy for his time as president. He has given a great deal
of his time and effort to ensure the <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Hamilton</st1:place></st1:city>
centre survived for another year. With the first annual AstroCats, out-reach
and Henrys, huge process has been made and the bar has been set high. Many
might not be aware but last night was Andy\u2019s last official duty as our
president. Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size="2" color="black" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial;color:black">On a final note, I thought Andrea should have
been given a volunteer pin for her work during AstroCats, collecting the cash
boxes throughout the weekend and running the \u2018odd\u2019 errand for Andy.
Just my two cents here.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
