I've been in publishing for about 25 years as a newspaper reporter and in magazine publishing as a managing editor and editor in Columbus, OH; Atlanta, GA; and Fairfax, VA. Got my first telescope in high school and and upgraded to where I now have an 8-in. Meade LX90 Schmidt--Cassegrain. I currently have my own editing/writing/desktop publishing business in Columbus.
