Rather remarkable documentary.

It was great and for those interested it will repeat on Ch 13.2, from 9:00-10:30. It kept my attention so well that I didn't realize I had missed the news.

Boy old George Ellery Hale was a genius--single-minded and driven--a really accomplished man. Not sure they make guys like this anymore. And those mirrors were sure a hard thing to make...Corning did a fantastic job.

I love Pyrex anything--always have...you can get it *really* clean...

And never forget--these great things were done in the days when there was **NO** income tax. None. Zippo. Naught.
