FROM 1C
Father
all said the Lord's Prayer, and
then Mom recited the 23rd
Psalm. She cried a little and
then, being Mom, apolo¬
gized to us for it, as if any
of us had dry eyes at that
point.
After that, we shared some
stories about my dad. They
were funny, commemorating
his legendary sense of
humor. Once again I said
how glad 1 was that all of
my children had gotten to
know their Papa and would
remember him.
When we left, we decided
to continue paying tribute
to dad by going out to eat at
Williams Brothers
Barbecue.
My dad loved barbecue,
and back in the day he
cooked a mean pork butt.

our great country. May God
bless those who have fallen

God Bless America.

Robert Webb, president of the North Georgia
Astronomers, strongly urges that viewers not
attempt to watch the transit without the proper
telescope filter.
He warns that permanent eye damage could
occur.
Frank Lock of the Chestatee Science Club
viewed the 2004 Venus transit, which occurred
at sunrise in North America.
“1 set up a telescope connected to a television
monitor across from the vehicle assembly build¬
ing at Kennedy Space Cotter,” he said. "As the
sun rose, the transit had already started and
Venus was visible in my telescope against the
background of the sun.
■« As sunrise continued, the dark shadow of
Venus moved across the surface of the sun. As
we watched for about two hours, for the very
first time in more than 30 years as an amateur
astronomer. I felt like 1 was on a planet circling
the sun. It was a very moving event.
Lock said those wanting to observe the transit
will need a telescope or binoculars equipped
with a solar filter.
They may attempt to watch using solar eclipse
glasses or a welder’s shield. However, he added,
with the earth orbiting the sun from a distance
of 93,000,000 miles, it would be challenging to
see Venus without a telescope.
