Pics from the bash held in the great vista Pavilion overlooking the magnificent Chicago Skyline...
Here we have: Jeff, John & his son Michael, Ron and his wife, Joyce & Fred, Laura & Myself, Rob, Linda & Alfred, Steve, Larry and Steve.
It has been a long time since I saw Rob, as he has taken responsibilities out of the country as a crack airline pilot, and here we grab a moment to be childish as usual...
My date for the evening was the lovely Laura...

The Telescope facilitators were lucky this evening, winning several of the Adler raffle prizes..

Linda,
(I forget what the prizes were here).
I, alas, after winning big a couple of years in a row, did not win anything this evening.
There was champagne to toast and share...
( We got Photobombed by Rob )
Had to grab both Laura and a shot of the skyline before we left...
We are rather ghostly, wrong setting on the camera...sigh...
This will be my pic for my next Adler photo ID which needs renewal...
Taken against the brand new one-of-a-kind infrared Spitzer satellite wall banner, that spans 120 feet and bulges 6 ft wide at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy...I dig it.
A nice time, with great friends and very cool date.
