August Northwest Suburban Astronomers Meeting

Professor Roger Kolman of Harper College provides a program about The Astronomical League Leslie Peltier Award. Following Leslie Peltier's death in May, 1980, an award was created to honor individuals making significant contributions to observational astronomy. Roger will review Leslie's life and the history of the award and discuss recipients of the award. Roger hopes it will inspire others to follow the trail blazed by Leslie, whom Harlow Shapley called "the world's greatest living amateur astronomer".
