Craig and Rob,
I'd asked David for a list of the speakers we have had at our SJAA meetings, in order to
show in yet another way how we are following our club charter to bring the science of
astronomy to the public.
Here in a free and open meeting the public can hear some very heavy hitters in the science
of astronomy.
Rich.

>> Rich said it might be useful to be able to show a history of speakers to the Houge reuse committee, since the meetings are free
>> and open to the public. When I started scheduling speakers (starting with 3/2005), I went back through past Ephemerides to
>> collect a list of past speakers, and then continued to append from there. Here is the list.
