That's in addition to helping with the "Other Worlds: Rare Astronomical Works" exhibit in Austin at the Harry Ransom Center and special teacher workshops at McDonald Observatory, Austin, and Galveston with the IYA theme. It was a special honor to be awarded the American Astronomical Society's Education Prize (that I'll receive at a banquet in January at the Air and Space Museum in Washington) during this landmark year.

Sara was selected to fly on a reduced gravity flight (also known as the Vomit Comet) in January – after months of preparation for the science experiment her team proposed, she flew and did not get sick.

Ruth won awards for Science Olympiad (three second-place medals at the state meet), attended Girl Scout camp in the summer, and enrolled in the Legacy Program at Hutto High School. As part of the program, she will take her first college course (Speech) in the spring semester at Temple College in Taylor. Larry continues his interests in chess and writing. My mother celebrated her 101st birthday in November. I traveled to Ohio to spend a celebratory weekend with her and our family. Happy New Year!
