The first letter arrived on October 31 from Lance Corporal L*Robert Toth stationed in Afghanistan. I had Robert in my William Allen astronomy class back in the fall of 2002. He was the kind of person that would make ^any parent proud—an honest, hardworking student with a quick smile who wanted to do his best for God, country, and humankind. Yes, those kinds of pupils are still around, and it is one of the reasons that I have remained in teaching for the past 33 years. That he should be fighting in Afghanistan really didn't surprise me either. He was a patriot and wore the uniform of his Navy Junior ROTC corps that he belonged to with pride. I imagined Robert on patrol in the cold, predawn hours, viewing a stark, dry, moon-bathed landscape with two brilliant luminaries twinkling low in the east. Robert said that "I have had some difficult times here and times I really wish I was home." He will be returning in December and promised me a visit. Robert's safe return will definitely be in my prayers. What Robert Toth and millions of others witnessed was a close conjunction of Venus (brighter) with Jupiter. The nearest approach for the East Coast was on the morning of November 5 when they were just over one moon diameter apart. Since that time, Venus has been moving towards the horizon and away from Jupiter bound for another conjunction with a planet that has slowly been gaining more prominence in the eastern sky—Mars. By December 6 at-6:15 a m. Venus will be about two moon diameters to the left of Mars, but 180 times brighter. Sunrise is an hour later, so Mars should be visible with just the unaided eye.

On Saturday morning Beachview head pro, Mitch Hodge, got the news that a barge had crashed into the causeway, halting traffic. That meant a handful of the entrants in the tournament would be stranded on the other side of San Carlos Bay. Or did it? It turned out that some of the players owned boats, and decided to load up their gear and take a nautical approach to Sanibel Island. By noon all the players Dave Hodson, Bruce Fulkerson, Pat Tazanis and Tom Rizzo were at the club ready to compete in their matches. The players enjoyed postcard-perfect weather on Saturday with blue skies and balmy temperatures. Forecasts called for more of the same on Sunday, but a misty drizzle postponed a number of matches and forced the club to finish some of the finals on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. NEED A ROOFER? The Men's 4.0 wrapped up its division early Sunday morning. Bruce Fulkerson and Dave Hodson played a superb match, winning 6-1, 6-4. Tom Rizzo and Pat Tazanis placed second.
