This is my last letter as HAS President so I’ll keep it simple.

Shown is the text from my 2017 columns fashioned into a star(-shaped word) cloud. It sums up where we’ve been this past year pretty well, I think.

There’s lots more to come, too. Don Selle, the incoming president, is even now orchestrating a terrific group of talented leaders who will kick things off come January. What new wonders will they have in store for us?

Remember, you’re a part of this too, so join in on the fun.

Rene Gedaly, President
Houston Astronomical Society
