Celestron Origin Intelligent Home Observatory

---

Astronomy is not just about telescopes and observatories. It also concerns the people who use them. From an old pair of binoculars in the mid 1960s to Celestron Origin in the mid 2020s, what happened to me in between is just as important, for it was those years of experiences that influence how I perceive distant, untouchable cosmic objects from my location here on Earth today. Several webpages, most in progress, covering everything from our shoreline geology and ecosystem to my education, career highlights, and farm life, are included at the bottom of the menu. At the age of 71 (August 2025) my interests, hobbies, and other special activities are so diverse, that this personal website is really the only online format where I can talk about anything I want, and have fun doing it.
