Algae Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 And here is a picture of the gift I presented to Roger at the meeting. For some reason he did not show it as much as I expected? It was to spark interest in an old hobby that Roger has had since a child. Since he will be retiring after 33 years of teaching it is a great opportunity for Roger to renew his love of a hobby that he has pursued all these years and now will finally have the time to delve deeper into. astronomy......

Yes, he loved it so much Franklin he kept trying to trade it for my gift certificates (laugh). I had to repeatedly explain that that's an area that he needs to explore not me! Roger needs the book more than me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
