I'm Dave Hale in Fairhope, Alabama. I am 52 years old (2008).
I am an amateur astronomer with an 11" Celestron Telescope. I also enjoy sailing and photography. I'm an Assistant Scoutmaster with Fairhope BSA Troop 47, the oldest continuously chartered troop (80 years 2008) in Alabama.
I am self employed performing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. I run SETI@home as a small contribution to the effort.
2. I've been fascinated with the project from the onset, and have always admired Carl Sagan.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
