Telescope Making? Astronomy education? Maybe even a flair for history? 
Please send a bio of anyone in the North East Region who you think should be honored.

The nominees need not be from your organization, although they may be. You are free to nominate anyone in our Region, from the northern half of New Jersey to the tip of Maine.
Please let us know in the next several days. As complete a bio as possible is absolutely necessary, so that the Board can vote, even if they have never met the individual.
