[heirdoug at netscape.net]

from http://skyways.lib.ks.us/history/tombaugh.html
"He concluded his career as an astronomy professor at New Mexico State University. "

He lived in a small adobe home in old Mesilla with this huge home made 10” telescope in his back yard. I always rode my bike by his home and wondered who lived there till one day a neighbor told me that “he is the one who discovered Pluto”. I was in awe ever since. He was something to listen to.

lemeno, doug!
