This year featured fine skies despite the region-wide major forest fire problems, and OSP operations and events ran smoothly. Pictured in the above group photo are the elusive Swayze brothers, who have escaped the group photos in numerous past years, but are seen this year, Steve on the right picture edge, and Bruce in the middle, second row. Also reappearing in this year's photo after an absence is a very sunburned Stan Seeburg, the guru of Sidewalk Astronomy in Vancouver lo these many years.....See who else you can pick out (hint: Pat Lewis, the "Lucky Lady" and past years' superlative amazing door prize winner can be found!). Your photographer was the lucky Grand Prize winner this year, winning a complete Celestron 8 inch SCT outfit, his first Raffle door prize winning in 13 yrs of attending! (click to see picture!).
